Gerald Nathan Jr.: Long, rangy Mizzou linebacker with SEC-caliber upside
Gerald Nathan Jr. has been more of a developmental piece than a stat-sheet star at Missouri, but his profile still pops: in the 2019 season, he was described by Mizzou as a playmaker with good size, speed, and length who can run sideline to sideline and flash in the backfield. He entered the transfer portal in 2021 after limited usage, so the big question is opportunity, not talent. If you want an athletic, high-motor linebacker with special-teams value and intriguing upside, he’s worth a look; if you need an instant production machine, he’s not that guy.
