is the top prospect for the Hornets and a current Oklahoma Commit. Nelson has the length, burst off the snap, and finishing ability that already put him among the top edge rushers in the nation. Against a St. Frances offensive line that has seen Power 4-caliber prospects all season, this is a chance to show he can win one-on-ones against elite competition. Overall, he’s a high motor player, demonstrating his ability to chase down ball carriers. Nelson is adept at containing the edge. He forces plays into traffic with a good one-arm extension. He also maintains very good lateral movement along the line of scrimmage.

God’s timing is my timing and tonight confirmed what I have been feeling coach Chavis said it felt like Dejavu and my dad’s shirt translated means it is finished!!! Nothing else needs to be said. I’m officially ending my recruitment and will be joining my brother(s) at OU🔥Boomer pic.twitter.com/llGLSMSF0Z

Nelson is adept at containing the edge. He forces plays into traffic with a good one-arm extension. He also maintains lateral movement along the LOS. I expect him to take a major leap this fall. They face Benton this week.
