Nick Scoliere brings linebacker size, instincts, and multi-sport toughness to NDSU
Nick Scoliere entered North Dakota State as a 6-2, 206-pound linebacker and a redshirt freshman in 2011, with a high-school résumé that shows real two-way athleticism: 75 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, two interceptions, plus 890 rushing yards and 6 receiving touchdowns in his final prep season. That combo hints at a player with range, physicality, and competitive juice—the kind who can fit the Bison’s culture if he translates his instinctive, do-everything background into consistent defensive production. The upside is clear; the next step is proving he can turn versatility into impact.
