Nathan - Canarelli Middle School

Nathan started out as a wide receiver for our team, but we had to make some changes and moved him to the middle linebacker position. Ever since, Nathan has been a menace for the opposing team's offense. Nathan completely changed our defense and is responsible for most of our tackles (flag pulls), quarterback hurries, and even a pick-six. Our defense has become the toughest in our division, holding teams to zero points or well below their average scoring total. This is all because Nathan, our defensive captain, who took command of the defense and influenced his teammates to strive for excellence. Nathan is also a wonderful student-athlete. He stays out of trouble and leads by example in and out of the classroom. Nathan has A's in Math, History, Health, Science, Spanish, and Digital Design. All around, Nathan is the perfect example of striving for excellence on and off the field.
