Nate Williamson

I'm a senior in journalism at the University of Illinois. I also currently intern for the Danville Dashers, a semi-pro hockey team. I am a lifelong sports fan and have been covering sports for different websites since I was a sophomore in high school. You may (or may not!) have seen my work on sites like Last Word on NFL, Cover 32, Illini Scoops, or on a blog I started: The Sports Guys Site. You can find me on twitter at @NateJWSports!
