rangy, productive linebacker with a hard-nosed FSU résumé
In the 2005 season at Florida State, A.J. Nicholson led the Seminoles with 100 tackles and added 10.5 tackles for loss, showing the kind of downhill production and playmaking that jumps off the screen. He was known as a dependable, physical linebacker who brought intensity and a knack for impact plays, including fumbles and backfield disruption. The caution flag is off-field history, which matters for any team evaluating fit, but as a pure football fit he offered classic middle-linebacker toughness, range, and steady production.
