Ryan Nolan brings punchy, turnover-hunting safety play to Texas State
In the 2024 season, Ryan Nolan was a fast-rising piece of Texas State’s defense, playing in 12 games with 7 starts and finishing tied for second on the team with 52 tackles while adding a team-best 2 fumble recoveries. He looks like a fit for teams that want a physical, assignment-solid safety who finds the ball and cleans up plays rather than just flashing in highlight clips. The transfer-portal detour and return to San Marcos also suggest a player with ambition and buy-in—always a nice combo when you want edge without the drama.
