Obviously, he is a superior lineman, and big. How did we get him away from a FBS school?

I have no insight into how or why Nick signed with the Spiders, but I'm awful glad he did...

It seems incredible that he was recruited by the Latrell Scott staff...I assume this is his 5th season with the team...

Nick's work to recover from his injury at State in 2013 and return for the 2014 and 2015 seasons demonstrates his perseverance ...I'm sure last season's Playoff run was especially satisfying for Nick...I hope another stellar year lies ahead...

Good luck!

Go Spiders!
