Nick has been the do-it-all guy for the Pumas for the past couple of years, playing running back, wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back for Palisades as they have become a consistent winning program on the southside of Charlotte. Nick’s athleticism, speed, and agility led him to another All-Conference season and an impact playmaker in not only the city of Charlotte, but the state of North Carolina as well. Nick has started to take some recruiting visits – most notably to Liberty and Coastal Carolina. Nick currently has offers from Old Dominion, Charlotte, Gardner-Webb, Liberty, Georgia Southern, Delaware, Miami (Ohio), East Carolina, and Troy.
