Notre Dame IOL Ben Nichols brings SEC-style mass, mobility and raw upside to the Irish front
Ben Nichols is a 6-foot-6, 320-pound Class of 2026 offensive guard from Davison, Michigan, and a committed Notre Dame signee who is widely regarded as a 4-star interior lineman. He stands out for rare size, power, and the kind of heavy-lifting mentality that translates to trench play; reports also note he draws on football, basketball, and powerlifting, which hints at functional athleticism and a strong development base. If you want a high-ceiling blocker with real frame, force, and long-term starter traits, he fits the profile.
