Nathan Commander, a sixth grader at Brewton Middle School, was selected as one of only six sixth graders from around the country to play quarterback and represent The United States of America on the USA National Team at the USA Football Middle School Bowl Games in Dallas. Following in the footsteps of NFL greats like Todd Gurley, The Honey Badger Jamies Winston and Dewayne Haskins. Nathan received an invite to attend a regional tryout in Atlanta one of 20 held in major cities around the U.S. During the two-day tryout where he competed against 36 other middle school aged quarterbacks and over 350 kids total. The two-day try out was very intense and he had to raise his game up big time. After the first day of individual drill work he was moved up to play with the eighth graders in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 non-contact competitions. He finished the day ranked in the top 3 of all quarterbacks in attendance from sixth grade through 11th grade and about a week later received and email stating that he had been selected to play quarterback for the US Nation Football Team.
