Nathaniel will follow in the footsteps of many greats before him.

He joins his cousin Nic, who committed to Wyoming for Football a year ago, his dad Cory and uncle Jim (Cody Football Defensive Coordinator) who both played for the Cowboy football program in the 90’s.

His uncle Brad was a graduate assistant for the Cowboy Football team in the late 90’s and coached football in Vegas for many years.

Talich was the anchor for the Cheyenne Central basketball team that won the 2021 Class 4A State Title.
