Draylon August brings length, upside, and fresh legs to Nicholls' DB room
A 6-2, 180-pound freshman from Lafayette, Louisiana, Draylon August gives Nicholls a long, developmental defensive back with local ties and a clean recruiting profile. He arrived as part of the Colonels’ 2026 signing class and fits the mold of a multi-year project who can grow into the Southland’s physical style, especially if his frame translates to press coverage and run support. The key appeal: upside, size, and early-career freshness rather than a long injury or production track record.
