Ozzie Nicholas is a proven tackling machine with three-down upside
Ozzie Nicholas is a high-motor, downhill linebacker whose biggest calling card is production: he posted 100 tackles for Duke in the 2024 season and was previously a unanimous First Team All-Ivy defender at Princeton in 2023, where he reached 104 tackles. Evaluators praise his ability to attack the backfield and project him as a three-down backer, but notes on his profile suggest he still benefits from added size and strength. He looks like a good fit for a team that values instincts, physicality, and sideline-to-sideline effort.
