Nathan Cottrell - Hudl
Put this one in the category of one to watch next year. According to a poster on a another site, Cottrell is getting some interest from Texas, Nebraska & Missouri but has not heard from UT yet, where he'd love to go.
Cottrell was named to the All-KIL Track & Field team as a freshman after running a 10.98 100 M. He recorded the fastest 40 time last May at the Chicago Nike Football SPARQ Combine, which had about 900 participants. His shuttle time (4.52) was mediocre but he had an impressive vertical jump of 37.2".
He is putting up some remarkable numbers for West as a running back this year: 82 carries for 1,229 yards (15 ypc) and averaging 53 yards on his 14 TD runs. Also has 9 catches for 161 yards & 2 TDs, 6 KO returns for 310 yards & 2 TDs, and at least one punt return for a TD.
IMO, Cottrell projects as a cornerback in college. I haven't found his defensive stats this season but as a sophomore he had 74 tackles, 4 TFL & 2 interceptions.
