Alex Khvatov:
What are your measurements (height, weight and
forty time)?
Nathan Enderle:
6’4” with some change, 235 right now, I haven’t
run the forty since high school.
Alex Khvatov:
Coming out of high school, what programs showed
interest in you?
Nathan Enderle:
Basically a little bit of interest from Big 12
schools, but not a lot. Idaho showed the most
interest and was the only school to offer me a
scholarship.
Alex Khvatov:
Why did you choose Idaho?
Nathan Enderle:
I liked the coaching staff and the QB’s coach.
They had good energy. I liked the location. It
was far away from home, so I had an opportunity
to grow up faster. It was still a small town,
so it wasn’t a big change for me.
Alex Khvatov:
Describe your junior campaign to us.
Nathan Enderle:
It was just a lot of hard work. I was throwing
better that season. We came together as a
team. I knew the route concepts of the
receivers and I was making better reads.
Alex Khvatov:
What are your expectations for this upcoming
senior season?
Nathan Enderle:
I am working towards the best senior season
possible. I just think that I want to put us in
the situation to win and make good decisions
with the football.
Alex Khvatov:
What will be your toughest game
this year?
Nathan Enderle:
We will take it one game at a time. We can’t
overlook anybody. Nebraska will be a tough
game. They are very talented. The WAC is also
returning a lot of talent.
Alex Khvatov:
What is the highlight of your career up to this
point?
Nathan Enderle:
The Bowl game was all fun and good. But the
Louisiana Tech game last year where we fought
back was memorable. It sealed the deal for us.
It was a game that propelled us into the Bowl
game. It was a huge thing for the program.
Alex Khvatov:
What are your strengths on the football field?
Nathan Enderle:
I am smart. I understand the game of football
more now. I do a lot of the play calling at the
line of scrimmage. I understand protection and
where people have to be.
Alex Khvatov:
What areas of your game do you
need to improve upon?
Nathan Enderle:
Minimize mental mistakes. I need to cut down on
the interceptions. Any QB can tell you the
same thing.
Alex Khvatov:
What does it take to be a leader?
Nathan Enderle:
I think that you have to be consistent. You
need to execute and have a positive attitude
every day. Everyone will have tough days. You
have to work through it. It is the biggest key
for a leader. You need to go out there day in
and day out and perform.
Alex Khvatov:
Which underclassmen on your team should we keep
an eye on in the future?
Nathan Enderle:
I think our two tackles have a chance to extend
their careers. Tyrone Novikoff and Matt
Cleveland, they are both juniors.
Alex Khvatov:
Who is your favorite NFL player?
Nathan Enderle:
I like QB’s that go out there with a swagger.
Drew Brees has been good, and I was happy that
he won the Super Bowl last year. I have been a
Brett Favre fan since I have been little. He is
a gunslinger.
Alex Khvatov:
What is your favorite NFL team?
Nathan Enderle:
Not really. I have always been a Huskers’ fan
since I grew up in Nebraska. Our state doesn’t
have a pro team.
Alex Khvatov:
What is the one thing in your daily life that
you can’t live without?
Nathan Enderle:
Cooking. I like food and I like eating
healthy. Cooking is a good way to waste some
time.
Alex Khvatov:
What makes you unique?
Nathan Enderle:
I don’t know. I am a unique character. You
have to get to know me. I am goofy and nerdy.
I like to read and watch Disney movies.
Alex Khvatov:
If you could have dinner with anyone out there,
who would it be and why?
Nathan Enderle:
Jim Carrey. I like his movies. He is a funny
cat. He makes me laugh.
Alex Khvatov:
What are your hobbies?
Nathan Enderle:
Cooking. I am an art major, so I like to do
creative stuff like draw. I like to play
Nintendo 64. I am old school.
Alex Khvatov:
What is the biggest lesson that
you have learned in life?
Nathan Enderle:
The biggest lesson that I have learned is that
you can’t worry about what they say about you
outside the program. It is easy to get caught
up in that. People will talk about you and say
bad stuff, but I have learned to brush things
off.
Alex Khvatov:
What do you want to do with your life after your
football career is over?
Nathan Enderle:
I want a nice house and a nice kitchen. I
don’t care what I drive. I want to have a good
wife.
Alex Khvatov:
Finish the sentence, Nathan Enderle is….
Nathan Enderle:
A hard worker. I grew up in Nebraska. I have
all of the Midwestern values. I am honest and
upfront. I tell it how it is, and people
respect that.
