Career

After spending time in Andrew College and Birmingham–Southern College, Nasco made eight appearances for Panama City Pirates in the USL Premier Development League. However, he left the game shortly after battling injury and took a job as a police officer for the Gordon County Sheriff's Department in Calhoun, Georgia.

In 2012, Nasco caught an eye of the Atlanta Silverbacks coaching staff at the team's first open combine and on March 21, Nasco signed a professional contract with the Silverbacks.[1] On May 16, Nasco made his professional debut in a 3–0 loss to the Puerto Rico Islanders.[2]

On February 12, 2014, Nasco signed with Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids.[3] On September 5, against the Los Angeles Galaxy, he set the MLS record for the fastest red card in a game with a foul against Alan Gordon a mere 34 seconds into the match.[4]
