Hazen Coach Wayne Raney
‘Nathan sure meant a great deal to our football team. He did just about everything for us, and did a great job in all areas.

‘We played Nathan at quarterback and linebacker. At a bigger school, he may not play quarterback, but he did a great job for us. On defense, he is plenty aggressive, likes to hit people, and really does well stopping the run. Our defense was kind of get out of the way and let Nathan play.’
