  Draft Scout by Conference









  For as long as he can remember, Nathaniel Dell has drawn attention on the football field. Before he would become a preseason All-America wide receiver at the University of Houston, young "Tank" was making defenders miss as a running back on the Little League fields in Daytona Beach, Fla. "When I get the ball in my hands, I'm comfortable, because I've been having the ball in my hands since I was 6 years old," Dell said Thursday during a videoconference with reporters. "I had everybody there wanting to see me play. I just made a lot of plays - the same as what I'm doing right now." Years later, Dell continues to draw a crowd and attention, especially from defensive coordinators whose job is to devise Saturday game plans to stop one of the nation's top returning receivers.

It was a futile effort last season as Dell produced one of the best seasons by a receiver in UH history: 90 catches, 1,329 yards and 12 touchdowns. "This year, after what I did last year, I'm going to get a lot of attention on the offense and have defenses trying to cover me from everywhere," Dell said. Offseason roster additions should take a lot of the pressure off UH to rely heavily on playing Dell at one of the outside receiver spots. Instead, coach Dana Holgorsen envisions Dell lining up in the slot - the space between the end of the offensive line and an outside receiver - and becoming an even bigger matchup problem for opposing defenses. "He's an elite inside receiver," Holgorsen said. "He's unguardable," quarterback Clayton Tune added. "He's really unguardable anywhere on the field, but especially in the slot." - Houston Chronicle
