Adonis Alexander, Nacua teammate, was also with him during the altercation, although he did not seem involved. Instead, he simply pointed the fan after Nacua slapped him, and they left the field together.

Nacua played for Utah and Byu during his university career, the latter to whom his fellow star brother also attended. He captured 82 assists for 1,015 yards and 11 affected in 45 games with the UTES before transferring to Byu for the 2021 season.
There, Nacua transported 21 catches for 329 yards and three scores.
Nacua tried to enter a list of the NFL after her university career, spending time with the Indianapolis colts and New Orleans, but never stuck. He played for the UFL Pittsburgh Maublers before joining the Panthers in 2024.
