College career

Freshman

Considered by far the best true freshman tight end in the country, Nauta finished the season with 353 yards on 27 catches as he developed early chemistry with fellow true freshman quarterback Jacob Eason. Nauta was a key weapon for the Georgia passing game, lining up on the outside and in the slot quite a bit as he dwarfed the rest of the nation’s true freshman tight ends statistically. he was selected to the freshman All-America team by ESPN, USA Today, Athlon, Football Writers Association and Campus Insiders.[2]
