Top TE Isaac Nauta Discusses Three Finalists, Will Make Decision On Tuesday
Top tight end Isaac Nauta discusses his three finalists, and will reportedly make a decision on Tuesday where he'll play college football.
January 5, 2016
Isaac Nauta opened up about his final three schools and making a decision.
He’s the No. 1 tight end in the nation. He’s the No. 23 overall player in the 2016 recruiting class. He’s 6-foot-4, 237 lbs, and he goes by one name: Isaac Nauta.
He’s the weapon every offensive coordinator dreams about using on defensive units, and right now he’s in San Antonio, Texas getting ready for the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Nauta will be announcing his decision on Saturday at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, but according to him, he’ll have his mind made up before then.
“Should have it made up in my mind by tomorrow (Tuesday).”
Nauta spoke with John Garcia Jr. of Scout to discuss the All-American game and his final three schools: Michigan, Georgia and Alabama.
On Michigan
“Michigan … Coach Harbaugh’s done nothing but produce tight ends. He’s a machine as far as the pro-style offense, and he’s a winner, so, yeah, I can definitely see myself there.”
On Georgia
“[Georgia] is right down the road. It’s the home-state team for me. I got a lot of friends there. You know, obviously with the new staff, they’re untried and untested as a whole. But I think they got the right guys in there, which has kept them in it for me, and I’m excited to see what they got going on.”
On Alabama
“At Alabama, their system’s definitely been tested and no matter who’s been there, who they recruit, they just come out on top year after year.”
Those are three of the hottest programs in the country right now.
Jim Harbaugh has done an amazing job of turning around the Michigan Wolverines in just one year.
Kirby Smart has taken what he’s learned from years of being Nick Saban’s right hand man and is now applying it to his first head coaching position with the Georgia Bulldogs.
And as for Alabama … well, it’s Alabama.
