Nate Cole Football Achievement


Jared Pace

​            Recently, Homer High School senior Nate Cole was awarded by the Cortland County Youth Program for his selfless personality, leadership qualities, and fortitude on the Homer High School Football Team.
           Nate Cole was one of seventy-one high school and college football players recognized as National Football Foundation Scholar Athletes and as Hall of Fame National Scholar Athletes. For his first honor, there was a semi-formal reception held at the Homer Center for the Arts, where they had key speakers who recognized and honored each nominee. Later during the week, they held a formal dinner and presentation at the Turning Stone Casino to celebrate Nate’s National Football Foundation award. There, they outlined Nate’s ongoing dedication to the community, as well as his stellar performance on the football team.
           Clearly, these accomplishments have augmented a myriad of opportunities and possible scholarships for him to attain in the future. Currently, Nate is an Eagle Scout who has continued to remain in the top ten percent of his class. If you see Nate, make sure you congratulate him on his success!
