Nathan Morton '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6'5”, 205 lb. Wide Receiver and attend College of the Redwoods. I am a Sophomore and am the lead receiver.

I attended Meridian High School in Meridian, Idaho and I graduated in 2015.  I was the lead receiver on my varsity football team my junior and senior years. Our school is in the 5A Division. Our team went to the playoffs and played the reigning state champs in our first game. 

In our second season under our head coach we moved from a spread to a wing offense.  The running game took precedence over the passing game. I was named by conference coaches to the All-Conference team, was an academic player named to the 3.5 GPA Fall Sports list, and played on the Shriner's All-Star West team.

I am looking for a school that is competitive on the field and also challenges me in the classroom. I intend to make a difference on an off the field while I pursue academic and athletic excellence wherever I commit.

2013 Season Stats:

 I completed the year as the ninth ranked 5A receiver in the state, and finishing as the third best receiver among juniors. In eight games, I had 25 catches for 378 yards and four touchdowns, averaging just over 15 yards per catch. My longest reception was a touchdown pass for 57 yards, and an additional 20 yards after catch.
