Nathan is an electric combo guard with a high IQ and a non-stop motor. A strong triple-threat scoring option, he combines crafty ball-handling with a soft, consistent shooting touch. His unselfish approach and composed play style stem from his understanding of the value of teamwork and knowing that he has four other talented players on the court with him. Nathan strives to play within the game, avoiding forcing plays while maintaining poise.


Last season, Nathan averaged 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. This season, his impact has grown significantly. Through the first four games, Nathan is averaging 14.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. In his last two matchups against Pikeview and Woodrow Wilson, he showcased his potential by averaging 18.5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.5 steals. Nathan is laser-focused on becoming a better defender and rebounder, which he believes will round out his game and elevate his contributions.


Nathan has set ambitious goals for the season, including improving his game, helping his team win a State Championship, and earning 1st Team All-State honors. Team success takes precedence for him, with a State Championship being the ultimate priority. Despite the challenges of competing in a tough region, Nathan is confident in his team’s ability to rise to the occasion.


A relentless worker, Nathan spent his summer honing his skills, boosting his confidence, and embracing a leadership role. As a starter since his sophomore year, he’s looking to solidify his place as one of AAA’s top talents.


Nathan looks forward to intense rivalries, especially against Woodrow Wilson, a team that always brings out the best in him. He’s equally eager for matchups against Shady Spring, the defending State Champions, who defeated his team three times last season. With Shady now in their region, Nathan sees these games as a chance to prove themselves on a bigger stage.


Nathan believes his team has what it takes to make a deep run in the State Tournament. It will require maximum effort and unity, but he has unwavering faith in his teammates and coaches. His fiery competitiveness and disdain for losing drive him to elevate his performance, especially when facing top-tier opponents.


Adversity doesn’t rattle Nathan. Instead, he focuses on what he can control—his attitude and effort—qualities he considers essential for success in any sport. Inspired by advice to "give anything you do everything you’ve got," he approaches every play, practice, and game with full commitment.


Off the court, Nathan enjoys golf, a passion he discovered recently. Over the summer, he played multiple times a week and worked on the prestigious courses at The Greenbrier Resort, an experience he thoroughly enjoyed.


As Nathan sets his sights on the next level, he understands the dedication required to reach his goals. With his scoring ability, basketball IQ, and work ethic, he’s poised to significantly impact wherever he lands. Nathan’s blue-collar mindset and knack for raising his game against intense competition make him a valuable asset to any program. With his potential on the rise, the question remains: just how high can he soar? Stay tuned.
