Nolan had a good game on Friday night. He’s got a quick release off the line that helps him separate as a pass catcher early in plays. He’s physical on the line of scrimmage as a run blocker. His physicality doesnt end with his blocking, as he can fight through contact to bring down passes as well, just as he did for his touchdown catch Friday.

Nolan was a kid I knew nothing about before I arrived on campus Sunday afternoon. By the time I had left I was an absolute believer. The Ohio Tight end showed everything one would want to see of a next level player. Nolan showed excellent top end speed for a big man running an impressive 4.73 40 yard dash. He also tested out well in the broad jump with an impressive 8’9″ jump. Nolan made an impressive showing during one on one’s displaying solid hands and excellent route running. I was not surprised to see Nolan get an offer sunday and would guess other offers will roll in for this young man soon.

Nolan will be a mystery to me as to how his event will go. He’s an excellent blocker with good size. He’s listed as a TE on the registration, so I’ll look for where his receiving skills are on Saturday.
