Ethan Nicolas Ethan Nicolas 6'1" | 180 lbs | RB Donovan Catholic | 2027 State NJ , a player who immediately stands out because of his physical presence and athletic upside. Since stepping onto the varsity scene in 2024, he has consistently looked the part of a difference-maker.
At 6’1”, 180 pounds, Nicolas runs with authority. He hits the hole with burst, accelerates quickly, and finishes runs through contact. His physicality shows up on every carry, especially when he turns minimal space into positive yardage and consistently generates yards after contact.
At the same time, his athleticism elevates his game. Nicolas isn’t just powerful—he’s explosive. That combination allows him to stress defenses early in runs and punish defenders late. As a result, he adds a true downhill element to the Donovan Catholic offense.
In addition, his two-way value can’t be ignored. Doubling as a linebacker, Nicolas flashes range, length, and the ability to play downhill with urgency. He moves smoothly in space, shows coverage capability, and carries the prototypical linebacker frame. Those traits further highlight just how athletic he is.
Ultimately, Nicolas has the tools to play either position at a high level. However, as a running back, Donovan Catholic has an explosive weapon in his blend of burst, size, and physicality. Moving forward, he remains one of the South Jersey backs capable of changing games with a single run.
