Nick Diamond arrives at Holy Cross as a compact, physical freshman RB with a high-upside frame
In the 2026 season, Nick Diamond is a freshman running back for Holy Cross listed at 5-foot-8 and 200 pounds, a build that screams low-center-of-gravity power rather than finesse. His profile points to a tough, downhill runner with special-teams and short-yardage upside, and his prep résumé suggests winning DNA: at Weddington he piled up 2,239 rushing yards and 36 touchdowns in his career, and he also earned First Team All-New Jersey Offense Prep Football honors at The Hun School. For a team, that means a physical, competitive back who could fit a north-south system and add immediate depth.
