Nocita has been having a breakout season for Palmer Ridge so far. Measures in at 5’10 175-pounds, he had 20 carries for 180 yards with 1 touchdown, averaging 9 yards per carry. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, speed, and good change of direction. Nocita uses his very good vision to consistently weave through the defense, making defenders miss with his dynamic juke moves and spin moves. Very good inside running and good outside running. Will pick, slide, and accelerate into the open hole. Nocita exhibits great contact balance as well. Once he gets touched, still keeps churning forward for extra yards. He’s on the cusp of a breakout season, and putting Colorado on notice.

Nocita showcased his playmaking ability on defense, but his offensive contributions at running back shows a physical, punishing style. He thrives between the tackles, attacking downhill and finishing runs with strength. Nocita gains tough yardage, lowers his shoulder through contact and consistently keeps the chains moving. He had 424 rushing yards on 54 carries with three touchdowns, showing efficiency and toughness in limited opportunities. As games progress, he appears to grow stronger, wearing down opposing defenses with each carry. His combination of power and persistence shows up in short yardage situations and momentum shifting plays, positioning him as a prospect capable of expanding his offensive role.

Nocita turned in a strong all-around performance highlighted by elite agility testing, including a top-15 national pro shuttle time of 4.20. He carried that momentum into on field work, showing quick burst and the ability to separate as a receiving option during one on one. Nocita runs clean routes and displays natural hands, making him a reliable threat in the passing game. His acceleration allows him to create space quickly and pushing the defense vertically. The blend of speed, agility and versatility gives him an expanding role within an offense.

Nocita was a standout at the camp. He was 1^st at the camp in the pro shuttle, 14^th nationally. 10^th in broad jump, and 12^th in the L-drill. The broad jump was a great example of his very good leg strength and explosion. He has very good change of direction, speed, and balance. Good acceleration. Nocita was fluid during the ladder drill, L-drill, and pro shuttle. I was impressed with how he competed, and is a name to know going forward.

His range and aggressiveness give his defense an edge, and this performance should serve as a springboard for his season. With a chip on his shoulder, Nocita is positioning himself as a riser in the rankings moving forward.
