Haha.
Here's one excerpt...from the lighter side of the story for sure.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's probably the most unique story in my 42 years of coaching," said Mack Brown, then the coach of the Longhorns and now an ESPN analyst.
Here's a guy approaching 30, with no experience playing football, no idea what position he should play (he thought wide receiver, was quickly steered to safety, but wasn't nearly athletic enough to succeed at that) and he'd just come off active duty.
The coaches immediately loved him. You name it; Boyer did it. Who doesn't want a Green Beret around?
He redshirted his first year, just practiced. In his second season, he got in once on kick coverage. His main purpose was motivating everyone else, playing scout team in practice and racing out at home games carrying the American flag.
"Guys would be complaining during two-a-days and I'd stop practice and say, 'Nate, why don't you come up here and tell us about Iraq,'" Brown said. "That'd be the end of that."
