Valparaiso freshman DB Nic Lendino brings early ball production and size
Nic Lendino has already shown useful early impact for Valparaiso, posting 55 total tackles, 6 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions in the 2024 season while giving the Beacons a 6'1", 200-pound defensive back with range and physicality. His stat line suggests a player who can finish plays, close throwing windows, and handle contact in run support, which makes him interesting for teams looking for a versatile, tough back-end defender. He looks like a fit for programs that value instincts, tackling, and competitive energy over pure flash.
