Nick Yates '15 Recruiting Profile

I attended SWOSU on scholarship as a Redshirt Freshmen, for financial reasons I joined the Army my Sophomore year as a reservist in hopes of becoming an officer once I graduate college.  I am currently on depolymet and will be looking for another opportunity  to fulfill my dream of playing college football when I return to the states. I believe the Army has made me a better football player, I'm more mature, bigger stronger and faster then I've ever been. I believe in the right situations I could be a Wes Welker type of slot receiver, because while attending college camps playing that position is what got my name out there while competing against several D1 prospects. I went from no offers to over 30 offers after attending 3 camps. The school I accepted a scholarship from originally recruited me as a WR, but when I got there they had just hired a new Defensive Coordinator and he was short handed at DB/Dawg (LB/DB hybrid position) so he pulled me over to defense.
