Though he checks a ton of boxes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last season's tape flashed a wide catch radius, good contact balance, and great IQ in the open field. Could be an awesome X receiver in the KLAA if he meets his ceiling. 2025 should be Nic's breakout year.

Every great throw, he's feeling great about it. Lou makes a bad throw, he sometimes gets down on himself. Point is, he's a competitive kid, and really cares about his game.

Small, but twitchy and plus-level athletic ability. A great first option in the Holt offense. Can be an amazing weapon in the passing game, but needs to improve consistency regarding hands. LaDon was a great first watch back in May, and he should be a major factor in every single Holt game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
