Nate Verstegen Fr...Personal Statement
I am a senior (2017) at Sun Prairie High School (Wisconsin, Division 1, Madison area) and am a 4-year varsity player. I'm listed as one of the top players for the Class of 2017 by Wisconsin Sports Network, and I am part of the leadership council on my team this year. I was out for part of this 2016-2017 season because of an injury, but am now back in our lineup. Our team is currently 7-2 and competing well as a team. This past summer, I played for the top 17U Wisconsin Academy team, and we were extremely competitive in our AAU tournaments.
I'm also a wide receiver on the varsity football team and earned Honorable Mention All-Conference this year. I am a 3-year varsity starter, and, in the last 3 years, I started 31 games and caught 55 passes for 802 yards, and 5 TDs. I was also a member of the leadership group for my football team. My uncle, Mike Verstegen, was an offensive lineman at Wisconsin and played five seasons in the NFL.
