Nico Ashley is CCSU’s rim-protecting, low-usage senior forward with real defensive juice
In the 2025 season, Nico Ashley gave Central Connecticut State a sturdy frontcourt presence: 3.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and a strong 54.5% from the field in 9.9 minutes per game, with preseason notes highlighting his 34 blocks at Lees-McRae in 2024-25. The selling point is clear—he’s a 6-foot-7, 180-pound senior who brings shot-blocking, effort, and positional length, even if he’s not yet a high-volume scorer. If your team wants size, defensive activity, and a player who can change the tone without demanding touches, he’s worth a look.
