Recruiting/Player Profile: David Nyan/Park Center (2021)

Today for this recruiting profile, we checked in at Park Center High School and chatted with 2021 NFN prospect <strong>David Nyan </strong>who plays offensive line and defensive line for the Pirates. We chatted with Nyan about his season with the Pirates, his recruiting search, and much more. <strong>Get to Know David Nyan</strong> Nyan describes himself as a hard worker on the field and off the field. His leadership skills are great as he knows when "step in" to motivate his teammates to get them at their best. Nyan has a team-first attitude as he's well aware that football is a team-first sport. His biggest strengths on the football field are his size along with some great techniques he's learned while playing the game of football for a while. <strong>Favorite Part About the Line</strong> Nyan told Northstar Football News that he enjoys "the 1 on 1 matchup and the challenge of going head to head with the same player play after play,". Park Center runs a zone offense and defense which gives pure athletes like Nyan the ability to show off their athleticism every play. <strong>College Interest/Pitch to College Coaches</strong> Nyan told us he plans on playing college football but doesn't have any offers on the table yet. His pitch to college coaches is that "I'm a hard-working young man and I'm willing to do what it takes to help my team win," which shows how much of team player David Nyan is. <strong>Improvements Made By Nyan</strong> The two big things Park Center Pirates coaches told David to work on was his ability to stay blocking until the play is over as well as his speed when the Pirates ran screen plays. Nyan said he's been in the weight room everyday lifting and conditioning to work on those two things specifically. Park Center just was gifted with a new multi-use dome near the football stadium, which has helped David and other Park Center athletes work on their game year-round. David said his main goal with all of this is to be "prepared and ready" for the Pirate's upcoming season. <strong>David's Mentors</strong> David has two coaches on the Pirates staff that he admires and calls his mentor. Park Center head coach <strong>Jordan Sallis </strong>and varsity assistant <strong>Joe Bueckers </strong>who have both been influential in David's football career for the Pirates. <strong>Learning from Last Season</strong> Nyan told us that the little things matter most and affect your game overall. That's the biggest thing he learned as a player for the Park Center Pirates to grow on in the 2020 season. I've attached Nyan's Hudl profile <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/12803861/David-Nyan">here</a>. I would recommend watching his junior highlight tape, as you can see how fierce of a blocker he is across the board.
