About Evan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I bring a power-first, gap-dominant style of play to the defensive line. At 323 lbs, I use my size and strength to anchor the interior, control double teams, and disrupt blocking schemes before they develop. I play low, with heavy hands and strong leverage, making it hard for offensive linemen to move me off the ball. I excel in clogging running lanes, demanding attention from guards and centers.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m the wall in the trenches. I don’t get moved I move people. I eat up blocks, wreck gaps, and bring pressure every snap. Tough, relentless, and built for war in the middle.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

N/a

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Leadership. Respect. Teamwork. Toughness

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Na

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for any type of college that I can continue to learn and get better at. Any school that I can put the work in at.

Evan Nichols Evan Nichols Evan Nichols 6'4" | 320 lbs | DL/OL Hedgesville | 2026 State WV is a big defensive line prospect who showcased upside and potential during his senior year at Hedgesville. His 6’4 320 frame will need to be developed in a college strength program, but it should also appeal to D2 and D3 colleges. Nichols is an imposing presence in the middle of the Eagles’ defensive front, who also showed quality short-area quickness for his size that college programs can work with and develop further.
