What Marcus Jones is to the rushing records Liam Nadler is to the passing records. The native of Leipsic, Ohio was a standout both on the field and in the classroom. He holds career records for yards passing (11,160), passing touchdowns (82), and total offense (11,863). He also holds career records for pass attempts (1,460), pass completions (851) and completion percentage (58.3 pct.).
 
In addition, Nadler holds four of the top five season passing yards figures along with the top three and five of the top six single-game passing figures. He also holds two of the top three total offense figures.
 
After redshirting in 2011 Nadler took over as the starter in 2012 and immediately set the season record for yards passing with 2,910. He completed 242-of-428 passes with 21 TDs and 21 INTs.
 
The 6-foot-7, 235 lb. quarterback would lead the Golden Knights to winning seasons in each of his next three years, including a 9-2 record in 2014. That is tied for the most wins in school history. He threw for 2,859 yards with 16 TDs in 2013, adding 14 TDs rushing, a school record for a quarterback. He earned second team All-PSAC West honors.
 
He repeated as a second team honoree in 2014 while leading the Golden Knights to nine wins. He was also named to the Football Gazette All-Region third team. That all came after he completed 199-of-318 passes for a career-best 62.6 percent for 2,750 yards with 21 TDs and just four INTs. He added 386 yards and 12 TDs rushing. He threw for a school-record 494 yards with 5 TDs against Seton Hill, one of four games with 400-or-more yards in his career.
 
As a redshirt senior Nadler threw for 2,641 yards with 24 TDs and 6 INTs. He completed 186-of-337 passes. It left him with 23 career wins as a starter, the most by a Gannon quarterback. He also had a stretch of 302 passes without an interception from 2014 into 2015, yet another school record.
 
Nadler's academic accomplishments were possibly even more impressive. He is the only Golden Knight named to the All-State AFCA Good Works Team, named in 2016. He was a second team CoSIDA Academic All-American in 2014 and 2015. He was a semifinalist for the Coach Wooden Citizenship Cup.
 
Nadler was selected the 2015-16 Gannon Male Senior Student-Athlete of the Year. He went on to play in the 2016 Dream Bowl in Virginia Beach, Va. and participated in the New York Jets' Rookie mini-camp.
 
Nadler graduated magna cum laude with his bachelor's degree in Political Science in 2014. He currently resides in Leipsic, Ohio with his wife Kelsey and sons Auggie and Sawyer. He has enjoyed a successful indoor football league career and also is a farmer, running Nadler Farms.
