His dad was a bad ass rugby player on the South African National team who are up there with the All Blacks as the best in the world. You can see a lot of that aggression in the way he plays.

That probably means he's tough as hell too.
Go the Wallabys! **** the 'boks! Kidding! Sort of. I'm sure he's tough as nails.
Because we are so loaded at linebacker, right?
I think the All Blacks are Kiwis. Regardless of which national team he was on, he was no doubt a bad ass.
Actually he said "up there with the all-blacks" as in competitive with them which is true, the South Africans are one of the top group in the sport.
I wonder how much rugby Nate has played. I am surprised we don't see more guys from rugby coming into college football. The game is one for tough guys. They tend to be versatile athletes with good endurance. I also like what Carroll is doing with the Seahawks in terms of using rugby technique to tackle, it has a lot of potential to reduce injury and extend careers and they don't miss a lot of tackles.
My bad - I guess I got caught skimming. Carry on...
It's okay, I no ot ever make a mishtake either.
I've made a lot of post only to find that I missed something while distracted or not paying attention.
I know this is a random bump but seriously, how did other teams miss this kid so badly? His film is incredible, he has the size, his coach talked about how he is the best true football player that he's ever seen, had to look good in camps, etc. Then, as a senior, he had 150+ tackles, 32 of which were for a loss, 4.5 sacks, 3 INTs, 2 FF, 7 PBU and if all this isn't enough and I'm just being biased: he was the NorCal defensive player of the year!
Edit: it's to the point that going forward, I now value an offer (at least an LB offer) from any of the teams who offered him.
Edit2: he lined up as a WR for the offense and they also ran wildcat plays for him lmao. What a beast.

I think he's the first freshman LB to play and I don't know if we've seen a wrecking ball like him at LB with MacIntyre as coach. Other than freshman year Gillam, but even then, Landman is more physical. Should be fun
This Buffnik guy knows a thing or two.
