Athletic, fast to the ball and relentless are the first three descriptors that come to mind when watching Nettles on film from last season. A productive Running Back/Wide Receiver on offense, Nettles is a two-way player who projects as an Outside Linebacker in my eyes. Plays an attacking style, yet understands how to play off-ball in space. Offers versatility all over the football field on both sides of the ball. Defensively it’d be foolish to rule out the possibility of taking snaps at Linebacker, Nickel or even as an Edge depending on situation. Additionally, is one of the better baseball players in Kentucky for the class of 2029, having a 74 mph fastball as of August 2025. He has put on nearly 20 pounds in the last calendar year.

As I was going through the list of award winners, as you’ll see, it’s littered with offensive skill position players. So when I saw Nettles on the list, it immediately got me excited. While he does play offensive skill position(s)–namely Wide Receiver, he looks more like a Tight End and it’s his physicality that people should get familiar with. On the defensive side of the ball, he’s a heckuva’ play-making Linebacker. Can drop and flip his hips well, in addition to using his length to maximize his range.
