If a team is committed to running the ball then his strong suit is run blocking. We moved him around in a lot of zone schemes here. He is more for power football and needs to excel at passing. He will pin his ears back and go after people.
He will concentrate on wrestling and go (to Northwestern) in the summer to check this out. He will make a decision before football season starts next year.
He talked about all of the coaches. Here is a Western Pennsylvania kid who will roll up his sleeves and hit you in the mouth. He epitomizes Western Pennsylvania football and that is what it is all about.
Our offensive line just moves people. Nick is our little ball of energy.
He is nasty and the strength of his game is on offense. We can run the ball behind him at any time. In the next breath, he could pull away by using a combination of power and agility. When he gets there he will make contact and there is no weakness to his game.
He knows where he wants to be. Last summer, he went to a football camp there and he loved it. It was the perfect fit for him. He didn't have to look any further than his own back yard.
I think at that level it would be too hard. Big-time football is too much of a commitment and he wouldn't wrestle as well.
