Watson's size gives him a natural advantage against smaller defenders, and he's continued to refine his route-running and footwork. With a strong senior season, he has the potential to attract increased D1 interest and solidify his status as a top receiver in the Class of 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402173"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6878249d36086"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nickels is an elite athlete who is currently committed to the University of Hawaii. Nickels has primarily played on the defensive side of the ball but will transition to play WR for the national powerhouse Bishop Gorman Squad in his senior campaign.

These Las Vegas Receivers will look to have breakout seasons in the senior campaign on the offensive side of the ball.
