DaeQuan Nicholson brings old-school linebacker size and straight-ahead toughness to CCSU
DaeQuan Nicholson is a physical, downhill linebacker for Central Connecticut State who fits the mold of a tone-setter: at 6-foot-1, 245 pounds when he was recruited, he profiles as a thumper with the build to play inside and make life miserable in the box. The key appeal is his blend of size, willingness to hit, and blue-collar profile from Wilbur Cross in New Haven, which suggests a player who can bring attitude and physicality to a defense. The main question for any roster fit is speed and coverage versatility, but as a run-stopper and energy guy, he checks an important box.
