is yet another Stillwater standout from Saturday’s camp. The Pioneers had quite a few of them and Nickles was one of the defensive players that we were excited to see. He was very productive last season and was one of Stillwater’s leading tacklers. We expect him to have similar production this fall and become one of 6A-2’s top linebackers. During the camp, he performed very well from start to finish. In one on one competition, Nickles showed a really good ability to stay with his opponent and make the play on the ball at the right time. He’s just one part of a very talented and physical Stillwater defense returning.

Nickles has more than ten tackles in each of the last three games. He’s coming off a season-high 13 tackles against Choctaw in the semifinals.
