Utah Tech’s Nate Young: a quiet, high-upside tackle with all-state chops
In the 2024 season context, Nate Young arrives at Utah Tech as a developmental offensive lineman with legit pedigree: a two-time first-team all-state tackle at Richfield High who helped power a 2023 Utah 3A state championship, and a coach-described grinder who is “no-nonsense,” locked in, and unusually sharp in meetings[1][7]. He also drew recruiting interest from Southern Utah and Jamestown, which hints at a solid mid-major profile[1]. The biggest takeaway: he looks like the kind of OL who may not flash on a stat sheet, but can absolutely become a reliable fit if a team values toughness, coachability, and steady growth[1][7].
