made plays all over the field in the Agates’ win at TCO Stadium, finding the end zone three times, including a reverse that broke open for a long score. Nelson showed his versatility throughout the night, bouncing between running back, slot receiver, and cornerback. Nelson isn’t the biggest back at 6’0, around 180 pounds, but he runs hard and knows how to use his quickness to get into space. He follows blockers well, hits the hole with decisiveness, and once he gets into the open field he’s tough to catch. His background in track shows up in his acceleration and respectable long speed, and he’s got the leaping ability and hands to make an impact as a receiver when lined up in the slot. Defensively, Nelson is just as valuable. He made a key interception against Denfeld, breaking instinctively on a ball to stall a drive. His football IQ, balance, and instincts allow him to thrive in the secondary, giving Two Harbors a reliable two-way playmaker. He’s even-keeled, competitive, and one of the leaders on a roster heavy with underclassmen. Nelson is drawing attention from both football and track programs at the next level, including Concordia-Moorhead and multiple DIII schools.
