For this week’s CBS Miami Nat Moore Trophy<\/a> nominee, we feature Miami Carol City five-star wide receiver Nick Lennear.<\/p>\n

Lennear has become one of the most dynamic playmakers in the country, making defenders miss in the open field and turning ordinary plays into highlights.<\/p>\n

“Really on the football field, man. I just ball out, man. That’s all,” Lennear said.<\/p>\n

Lennear says his athleticism and versatility set him apart: “I’m really athletic. I play both sides of the ball. I do a lot of things you never seen before.”<\/p>\n

Aiming for the Nat Moore Trophy<\/p>\n

Now entering his senior season, the University of Miami commit has another goal on his list: winning the 2026 Nat Moore Trophy.<\/p>\n

“Nat Moore award, that’s a great award. You know, I know a couple of guys that was there last year, like Derek Cooper, Calvin Russell. But you know, it’ll be good for me to be up there just like them,” he said.<\/p>\n

Lennear’s football journey started when he was about 5 years old. As he got older, he began to understand the opportunities the game could provide.<\/p>\n

“My love for football, like really, I started when I was like five, so you know I didn’t really know like what football could really get me until I got older, so like when I started knowing like what football could do for me, I just locked in and just kept pushing,” he said.<\/p>\n

A new chapter at Miami Carol City<\/p>\n

After spending three seasons at Miami Northwestern, Lennear moved to Carol City for his senior year. Despite the new school and new expectations, he says his approach hasn’t changed.<\/p>\n

“I don’t really let the outside get to me, man. I just stay humble and work,” Lennear said.<\/p>\n

And while Lennear isn’t a man of many words, his game plan for Friday nights is simple: “Just get me the ball. That’s it. Just get me the ball.”<\/p>\n
