Scouts rave about his aggressive run-blocking, quick feet, and strong finish, while his impressive hands make him a standout in pass protection. Though he played tackle in high school, he’s expected to move inside to guard at the college level, where his game is poised to explode. His focus this year? Peak conditioning and refining his footwork to dominate the scout team and earn a spot in the rotation by spring. If he transitions smoothly, Nichols could become a cornerstone of Notre Dame’s offensive line sooner than expected—bringing that raw, powerful, nasty blocking style to the field.
