Former McDaniel College football player accepts offer to play overseas! After a fantastic career representing McDaniel College, football player Nick Alberto will be arriving in the U.K. later this year to play another competitive season whilst pursuing his master’s degree in Public Relations and Strategic Communication. Ahead of his year overseas, we recently spoke with Nick to find out his ambitions for the season and what he is most looking forward to in the U.K.

What made you wish to first pursue your career overseas?

I decided to pursue my career overseas right after I found out about American Football being played overseas. I found out freshman year of college and ever since then it has been a dream of mine to take my career overseas after I finished my undergrad. I originally planned playing professionally, but I found the perfect opportunity in the United Kingdom to get my masters while playing American football.

What are your ambitions for your postgraduate season in England?

As for my ambitions for my postgraduate season in England, I want to win a championship with my teammates. I want to be a leader for my teammates. I want to learn from my teammates, and I want to immerse myself into the English culture. I want to continue to grow as a player, person, and teammate.

What are you most looking forward to during your year overseas?

I am most looking forward to another opportunity to play the game I love with a whole new group of brothers.

What are your ambitions beyond your postgraduate year?

After I graduate I hope to continue my playing career professionally overseas. I also plan on keeping my options open because I don’t know what opportunities will present themselves with having a masters.
