Nickels earned first team All-Southern Nevada honors with 21 total tackles and 2 INTs in his junior season. The Hawaii-commit is one of the most skilled and fluid cover-corners in his class and has the make-up of a future nickel CB at the next level. Nickels should continue to be a valuable piece of one of the most talented secondaries in the country coming into his senior season.

Nickels projects to be a significant contributor for Bishop Gorman in the fall after transferring from Desert Pines before his sophomore season. He showed promising natural athleticism and WR skillset as a freshman with great speed, body control, and ball-tracking as a vertical threat. He does a good job of selling deep on short routes with his quick burst and ability to stop on a dime. He’s flashy and elusive after the catch with the agility and quickness to turn small amounts of space into explosive gains. Nickels- who holds offers from Hawaii and UNLV- should continue to prove his playmaking upside with increased opportunities for the Gaels this fall.
