Hello Coaches,
I would like to Thank You for taking time to visit my profile page. My name is Nate Zeien, and I am excited about the possibility of continuing my love of Football while obtaining my Masters Degree. I am over 6'2" and weigh 280 lbs in 2017. I have been playing Division 1-AA football at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa for the past three years. Over the years, I have played on championship teams and teams that have had difficulty winning. I work hard in the classroom, on the field and in the weight room.
I have been chosen by my teammates as a Senior Captain for the 2013-14 season. Most recently in 2012, I had the opportunity to represent the USA at the University of Texas in Austin. I played OG/OT for the USA-Blue U-17 Team. I have earned both my Varsity Letter as a Sophmore and a State Playoff Patch. I also give back to my Youth Football Organization by assisting the Coaches for the past four years with the Offensive Line. I enjoy coaching and seeing players have a good time playing the sport that I have grown to love.
I hope to earn my Masters Degree at a school that fits me, and continue playing the game of Football. My goal is to one day coach football at the college level, so being a student of the game is very important to me. I am dedicated to personal improvement, academic excellence, my team and coaches.
I am greatful to my parents for always supporting me, no matter what I choose to do. They are a big part of this decision I will be making.
Thank You,
Nate Zeien - OL, Drake Football Alum
