Despite sitting behind Colton Gumino on the depth chart during his freshman and sophomore years, Nawrot remained focused and learned the game. When he finally started as a junior, he impressed his coach Tom Nelson by not only learning the game but also leading his teammates in cheering him on. Nawrot's unique experience of waiting for his turn to play will benefit him long term as he prepares for life at the next level.",
