Elijah Sabbatini brings veteran size and coverage instincts to Nicholls’ secondary
Sabbatini is a 6-foot, 200-pound defensive back with Power-4 experience from Ole Miss and Southern Miss, giving Nicholls a physical, seasoned presence in the back end. In 2023 at Southern Miss, he played in four games before a leg injury ended his season, recording five tackles and two pass breakups, so the key question is availability as much as ability. His appeal is range, toughness, and proven ball skills in limited action; he looks like a fit for a team needing an experienced safety who can compete immediately if healthy.
