For Tackles for Loss @ 12. Among ALL players.
Nikita is a stud, no doubt, no question. Not many teams have a nose guard that can make plays all over the field. Still would like to see him in a 4-3 playing beside a big 300+lb d-tackle though.
Too small to play DL

He's too small to play linebacker for that matter. But he can play football.

He'd actually make a really good MLB in a 4-3 (which is what they thought he would play when they offered him a scholarship), and he's big enough to play that position at around 6 foot 250-260
6 foot...I dont think so, he might hit 5'10" on a good day. But he is a player!
Did he play every snap on defense Sat.? Each time I specifically looked, he was out there.
Still tickles me that nobody wanted to offer the 5A defensive player of the year in TEXAS. Doesnt meet the profile, except the fact that the kid can flat play the game. Love him! Proud to be a Deacon.
