4 star Junior TE Issac Nauta (6-5 245) of Buford, GA is one of the top ranked players in the country at his position and there’s a 75% chance he will play his college football in the SEC. That’s because Nauta has narrowed his list to USC, Georgia, Ole Miss and Florida State.
The Gamecocks have made a very strong pitch for Nauta with recruiter GA Mangus leading the campaign.
“Coach Mangus is great,” Nauta said. ‘He let’s me know they want me really bad and I’m their top guy. I definite like coach Mangus. He’s a cool guy. And he’s from Georgia.”
Nauta was at USC for the Georgia game which was his first game experience in Columbia.
“The atmosphere was awesome,” he said. “The tight end had 6 catches and 2 touchdowns. They run power and sweep and those are two plays I love to block.”
Nauta said he will get back to USC for another game this season. He’s been to Georgia and Florida State several times and he’s trying to get to Ole Miss. He’s going back to Florida State this weekend for the Notre Dame game.
With USC a strong player for Nauta, the future of USC coach Steve Spurrier is being brought up by rival coaches. Spurrier will turn 70 on April 20th and tells anyone who asks he has no plans on retiring anytime soon.
“It definitely does enter my mind,” Nauta said. “Everything I’ve heard from what he’s said and other coaches said he’s not going to stop until he gets himself a national championship at South Carolina. How much weight that holds as far as actually happening, I’m not sure. If coach Spurrier is the coach there and I decide I want to go to South Carolina, then that’s what happens. And if the coaching changes, then I guess it happens. I guess you can’t base it (decision) off whether he’s going to be there one more year or two more years.”
Nauta is planning to make his decision at the end of this season. Next season he will be moving back to Jacksonville where he and his family lived before moving to Buford four years ago. He’s also lived in Michigan and that’s where most of his family resides, but he said most of his friends live in Florida.
Nauta missed two games this season with a fractured foot he suffered in the opening game. He has 10 catches this season with 3 touchdowns. Last season he had 16 catches for 403 yards and 7 touchdowns.
