Nico Schwikal is a rugged, versatile Dartmouth linebacker with special-teams pop
Schwikal is a 6-3, 235-pound senior linebacker whose value goes beyond the box score: in 2024 he posted 4 tackles and a blocked punt, and in 2023 he added a blocked kick, a punt-block recovery, and a kickoff return, showing real special-teams impact. Dartmouth lists him as a consistent contributor who has played multiple roles, while his Taft background highlights a physical, high-effort profile, including first-team All-NEPSAC honors and 8 sacks as a senior. He looks like a fit for teams that want size, toughness, and special-teams reliability.[1][2][4]
