Alex Khvatov:  What made you choose Central Arkansas?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think it was the coaching staff, the scheme and the great success that this school had with quarterbacks.  They always had a competitive team.  It is also a great location for a school.  It is 40 minutes from my home, and my family was able to come to my games. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  What is your workout regimen like right now in the off-season?
 
Nathan Brown:  Right now, I work out four times a week.  I run and lift weights.  It is a two hour workout.  I throw to our receivers two times a week and try to get a head start.
 

Alex Khvatov:  How does it feel to be a small fish in a large pond?
 
Nathan Brown:  It is exciting and surreal to me.  It needs to be talked about it.  It is not a reality yet, getting this recognition.  It is neat to put Central Arkansas on the map.
 

Alex Khvatov:  What are your strengths on the football field?
 
Nathan Brown:  My arm strength.  I can make any throw.  It has to be my knowledge for the game.  I gather a lot of knowledge and put it onto the field.  I have leadership qualities that a QB has to have.
 

Alex Khvatov:  What areas of your game do you need to improve upon during your senior season?
 
Nathan Brown:  I get greedy when we are down.  I have to realize that I am not going to get all of the points with one throw.  I have to work on being more consistent.
 

Alex Khvatov:  What is the highlight of your football career up to this point?
 
Nathan Brown:  Last year on regional TV, I was able to set UCA record when I threw 7 touchdowns.  The whole 2005 season was memorable as well when we won a Conference Championship.
 

Alex Khvatov:  What is your favorite NFL team?
 
Nathan Brown:  Growing up, I was a Dallas Cowboys fan.  In the 90’s, they had all of that success winning Super Bowls. 

Alex Khvatov:  Who is your favorite player?
 
Nathan Brown:  Brett Favre.  He just got things done.  He was not the tallest or the strongest player, but he figured out a way to win.  To be honest with you, he got more done with less talent.  This is who I want to be as a QB and as a football player.
 

Alex Khvatov:  Who is the toughest player that you have faced during your career?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think college wise, it was linebacker Michael Eubanks.  He was an unbelievable talent and a phenomenal player.  During the 2005 season, he would come on a lot of blitzes and make a lot of plays.  In high school, I played against RB Peyton Hillis.  He was a heck of a talent.
 

Alex Khvatov:  Which underclassman on your team should we keep an eye on in the future?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think that we have a RT by the name of Lane Freiwald.  He is 6’7” and 320 pounds.  He is going to be a junior.  He is a great athlete.  He is a top tackle with good feet.  He is strong and he moves well. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  What qualities should a quarterback possess in order to be successful on any level?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think that you have to have the respect of your teammates.  He should have a great work ethic.  As a QB, you are going to be looked on as a leader.  I take it seriously in my preparation.  You have to be ready mentally in practice.  You can have the physical skills, but if you don’t prepare right you will be less successful.  You have to put in the time.
 

Alex Khvatov:  What does it take to be winner?
 
Nathan Brown:  In football going all out and not taking it for granted.  You have to prepare for your opponent in practice.  When you go out, mess around and not put in the effort, your success rate will go down drastically.  You have to prepare in practice like you are playing tomorrow, give it your all and build off the next day.  
 

Alex Khvatov:  What are some of your personal and team goals for your senior season?
 
Nathan Brown:  Individual goals build up to team goals.  I want to win the Southland Conference.  Also I want for our team to finish in the Top 25 which we have done two of the last three years.  Individually, I don’t have too many goals.  I just want to help our team win.  I want to top what I did last year.  I want to cut my INT’s in half and throw for 3,500 yards.  I threw 26 TD’s last year, I want to top that.  It will be grand. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  What do you enjoy most about playing football?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think the thing that I enjoy most is time spent with my teammates.  You learn about your teammates and the commodore that you build with them and the coaches. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  Has the NFL always been in the back of your mind?
 
Nathan Brown:  It is always been a dream of mine.  I like to watch the guys on Sunday.  It still hasn’t kicked in.  It is an honor, the fact that you are being mentioned with the NFL.  Last year helped me a lot.  I have to prove myself this year. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  What is the one thing in your daily life that you can't live without?
 
Nathan Brown:  I think ultimately I am a religious guy.  God runs my life.  He tells me what he wants me to do in life and he drives me everyday.

Alex Khvatov:  Tell me something about yourself that makes you unique.
 
Nathan Brown:  I think in this day and age I am such a family person.  I am close to my parents and brother and sister.  I get a lot of my strength from my mom and dad.  I want to pass that on to my siblings.  It makes my life really unique.  They support me, and I support them.
