Mr. Nestor is committed to the University of Iowa and had one heck of a game Friday night. On defense, he uses his long reach to force pass breakups and can close quickly in run support to secure tackles both on the perimeter as well as at the line of scrimmage for little to no gain. Where he really shined was when he came on a blitz during key passing downs beating the offensive tackle to the turn point and closes quickly to generate pressure on the QB all night long – even coming away with a sack too. He also came away with an INT in the 2nd swinging momentum back into Marist’s favor ending a Naperville North drive that was moving the ball downfield. This young man also is used on offense running jet sweeps out of the slot breaking a long run once he turns the corner with his foot quicks. Safe to say that his is another legit P5 player that Marist has on their team and made his impact felt in this Round 1 matchup. Twitter

John’s game makes it very evident rather quickly why this young man will play at the FBS level next year for the Iowa Hawkeyes. John was flying around the field all night, making plays all over, even taking part in a momentum-changing safety, which then led to the punt being returned for a touchdown in the first half. The Hawkeyes have a versatile player in John Nestor John Nestor 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Marist | 2023 State IL , who will go to any position and play it well with vigor. John embodied the “play until the whistle is blown” kind of effort on the field Friday night, shown in the way that he could run from sideline to sideline to attack the ball carriers and make a tackle. This young man will undoubtedly be an excellent addition for the Hawkeyes next season.
