An interview with Nathaniel (Nate) Otto. He is a corporate and sports attorney and player agent at MGC Sports, advising football players and coaches on contractual matters. Before joining MGC Sports, Nate was an associate attorney in the mergers and acquisitions, corporate, and tax group at Burr & Forman. There, his practice included counseling colleges, universities, collectives, and athletes on matters involving name, image, and likeness (NIL), NCAA rules, and player contract negotiation. In his current role, Nate translates his traditional legal knowledge into expert advice for collegiate and professional football players by combining his legal skills with his prior experience as a Division I athlete.
Nate is a proud alumnus of the University of Florida Levin College of Law (UF Law), where he served as the Executive Articles Editor on the Florida Entertainment and Sports Law Review (FESLR). He also participated in UF Law’s impactful Veterans and Servicemembers Clinic, providing free legal services to local military personnel and veterans by aiding them in recovering owed benefits. Nate earned his Bachelor of Science in Economics at the United States Naval Academy, where he played Division I football. To top off his impressive education, professional background, and commitment to his community, Nate is a Navy veteran, having served over five years as a U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Officer, earning the rank of Lieutenant and serving more than three tours of duty domestically and abroad.
