Those who don’t know Nathan Yamaguchi simply have to tune in to a University of Alabama football game this season to see the Wilmette native as a face of the university’s national ad campaign.
The “Where Legends Are Made” campaign premiered during the home opener game Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where the Crimson Tide took on Middle Tennessee State University, winning 56 to 7.“I definitely feel some impostor syndrome,” Yamaguchi said. “Alabama is about where legends are made and I think it’s a really cool opportunity to tell my story just like every student here has their own story.
Yamaguchi credits the education he received at New Trier with giving him a solid base for his academic future, saying that he hadn’t realized at the time he attended it how great its resources were. “I was really into music from a young age. Always loved playing the drums and guitar,” he said. “When I got to college, I knew there was a lot of demand for DJ’s so I bought one of the starter controllers from Guitar Center and I would just spend a few nights in my room just learning how the different controls work.”
The campaign consisted of filming a 30-minute interview about his story alongside b-roll footage of Yamaguchi and still photos. This was compiled into awhere Yamaguchi calls attending the University of Alabama the best decision he has made thus far in his life.
