I don’t want to come at you. There is no need. You are entitled to feel how you feel. He has seen the team doctor, a specialist, and has had appropriate testing and procedures. His did not fake having back problems. If you go back to the Spring, you will find snippets from other sports reporters...

I did refute your statement that he quit after being moved to guard and fell down the depth chart. That had zero to do with him leaving football and to say such is simply false. He had zero problems playing guard as he played that position most of last season. You are most definitely entitled to...

I am close, and I wish you no ill will as well. Thank you for your well wishes for him.

He is having ongoing back issues and can’t get them to resolve. He had to make the best decision for him and his body. It wasn’t a decision made lightly. He had even considered retiring after having multiple concussions but decided to tough it out. So, it wasn’t because of hurt feelings or depth...

Do you know him? Do you personally know he’s not going to be there for his teammates? Are you aware of his situation? Whether or not he’s applied for a medical retirement? Did you speak to the doctor or the medical team, or Coach Fulmer like he did? Do you know what it takes to be qualified for...

He told the coaches he was done AFTER he spoke to the team doctor. So, unless you were in on the conversation he had with the medical team at length Tuesday, went with him for treatment Wednesday, and spoke to the medical team again Wednesday and Thursday, you simply don’t have all of the...

For the love of God....He did not quit because he was moved to guard. He played guard most of last season. He knew he would be in the rotation at either guard or tackle this season and was absolutely not worried about playing time. He has been dealing with back issues since Spring, and several...

No one mentioned it? Do you follow UT football? Austin Price and Jesse Simonton on VQ have talked about Nathan’s back issues since Spring camp. Even going so far as to say that the coaches were impressed with his toughness and drive to practice thru a nagging injury and pain.

It has been well documented on Volquest and Titter that Nathan has been battling a nagging back injury since the spring. There was even an article or snippet from one of the mods on VQ and it was mentioned in the 2 min drill how Nathan had impressed his coaches by pushing thru pain and injury...

Thank God for a voice of reason!

I guess since you were there for his meetings with the medical team, you would know?

He has been dealing with back issues since last spring. He has had treatment for this with no resolution. It has zero to do with not having heart or being mad because of playing time. It is because of his back. Plain and simple.

He looks leaner than he is because he’s a quarter inch shy of 6’7 with a very long torso and long arms and legs. He is the leanest looking 300 lb person I’ve ever seen. But he is right at 300 right now.

As far as I know, his plan is to complete his education at UT and not play football anywhere. I’m sure he will make a statement when he is ready.

I agree. Nate has no plans on transferring either.
