Nate Boyer is a United States Army Green Beret turned football player. After three combat tours in the Special forces to Iraq and Afghanistan, Nate walked on at the University of Texas despite never playing a down of organized football in his life. Boyer later earned a scholarship and started for three years with the Texas Longhorns before becoming the oldest rookie in NFL history at age 34 while playing for the Seattle Seahawks. He believes that anything is possible, you make your luck, and that dreams are meant to be chased.

8Primal was born out of necessity. High quality, locally sourced meat from a family owned ranch in Texas, shipped straight to your doorstep. No gimmicks, no middleman, no bullshit (pun intended). Nate and Co-founder Dominick, his city slicker buddy from the big apple, are no pros when it comes to the butcher shop, but they’re meat eaters (yes they eat their vegetables too) and damn well know a good cut when they taste it! “If ya eat well, ya feel well.” They also know how good it feels to give folks a hand up along the way. A hand up, not a hand out. That’s why 8Primal partners with organizations like Merging Vets & Players (MVP).

Merging Vets & Players empowers military veterans, and professional athletes to thrive when the uniform comes off, through fitness, health, and wellness programs. MVP aims to cultivate a world where every military member, veteran, and professional athlete transitions from service or sport to a purposeful life, empowered by a community that champions their well-being and success. From the battlefield to the ballfield, our veterans and athletes exemplify strength, excellence, and dedication. At Merging Vets & Players we want everyone to remember that you are never alone, and always: We Got Your Back!”
