Veteran Northern Colorado safety Nathaniel Gillis brings steady depth and ball skills
Nathaniel Gillis is a **experienced, reliable safety** for Northern Colorado whose profile is built more on consistency than flash: he played in 12 games in 2025, added tackles in six games, and has shown proven ball production earlier in his career with nine pass breakups and an interception in 2023. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, he has the size to fit as a rotational or depth defender, and his multi-year experience, including time at BYU, suggests a player who understands structure, assignment football, and special-teams value rather than just highlight-reel play.
