Nathan Heuer serves as the sports information director at Amarillo College, where his responsibilities include writing articles, producing content, and taking photos. “My main job here at Amarillo College is to write articles and produce content for the team,” Heuer explained. “I also work with local media, particularly Channel 10 and Channel 4 to connect them with coaches and the players.

He’s also the voice behind Badger Claws podcast on FM90, with help from FM90 director Amy Presley who assists to get everything set up.
Heuer earned his bachelor’s degree in media from the University of Northern Colorado eight years ago, Straight out of College he went back to his hometown at Omaha, Nebraska where he was a newspaper sports reporter, a role where he held for seven years.
