ALTRA FEDERAL CREDIT UNION AWARD FOR FOOTBALL

Nathaniel Kirksey, Tyler Legacy

WHAT HIS COACH SAID

Nathaniel Kirksey is the ultimate team player. As the strong side outside linebacker of the Tyler Legacy Red Raiders, Nathaniel led the district in tackles with 159. But not only is Nathaniel a statistical leader, when he speaks, the team listens. His positive outlook, even when the team seems to be in a near impossible situation, has dug us out of a hole multiple times this season. Nathaniel may not be the biggest, strongest or fastest player on the field, but he certainly plays like a giant with an unstoppable motor day in and day out. Aside from football, Nathaniel handles business in the classroom with a 3.95 GPA, and he also has shown up in the community in various ways. Nathaniel Kirksey’s leadership qualities, athletic ability and love of our community makes him a deserving recipient of any and every award that comes his way.
