Not sure anything jumps off the page for Nicolas. As a junior he was a top 250 looking kid. Has listed offers from UGA, UF, Miami, A&M, Michigan, Ole Miss, Penn State, and Oregon.
I think as he’s grown into his frame more he lost some explosiveness. Rivals has him near 290lbs now and he’s definitely a guy that seems to have a high floor but could go a lot directions after a college strength and conditioning program gets to him
That’s much of what separates guys at his size from one another

He’s a nose tackle. Hard to find explosive nose tackles. But if you throw him in the DT with the 3 tech guys he’s going to look slow and not as explosive. He will be a solid player.
What we are looking for is a couple guys at the 3 tech that can play the run and rush the passer, like Nick Fairley and Derrick Browns of the world.
I do like the length we have been going for in this cycle. Most of the guys are between 6-3 and 6-6 on the DL somewhere around 270-300 lbs. even if you miss on a kids skill they at least have the frame.

Jonesy, thats what he sounds like from what Ive read. Some guys put on weight and it pays off in spades (like it seems to be happening with Faulk) and some guys put on the weight and the loss in quickness is not offset by the added weight (Byron Cowart). Not saying he is at either of these fellas level coming out of high school just using them as examples.
DJ Lindsey will be a stud, Blockton "developmental", looking at what we have in the room now, I dont think we need another developmental HS kid. Id hold out, swing for the fence on a Beamon and if we miss go JC or portal. Who knows maybe Carter commits and brings his DT teammate from Mater Dei, Im kidding, sort of.
Corch to your point, isnt that what Sledge and Johnson are projected at, do we really need a third developmental guy for that position. Im asking, not being judgemental.

Why take him now? Its still fairly early in the recruiting cycle. Couldnt we save that spot for a prettier girl? Not like its close to closing time
