Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
With two interceptions last year and solid film, Nicholas Russo Nicholas Russo 5'9" | 135 lbs | DB Westfield | 2025 State NJ is a prospect that the Big Central should be aware of. Like blanket, Russo covers receivers closely and stays completely on top of poor route runners. Russo’s most endearing trait to a defensive coordinator is his will to fight for the ball, often either ripping it out of the hands of receivers or batting in down while defending. The film shows that Russo does have ups and that Westfield trusts him to be on an island, 1-on-1 with a receiver, all by himself. In run support Russo does a nice job engaging with perimeter blockers, fighting them off, and maintaining his run fit. Additionally, if a lazy receiver does not bother to show a release he disregards them and immediately comes up to play run with tenacity. One area as a boundary corner. Although he appears to play his run fit correctly, one element Russo should be contentious of is his leverage when tackling, avoiding getting his head across the ball carriers body as nobody is outside of him.
