Shaun Nicholas is a long, athletic Tulane DB with upside
Shaun Nicholas is a 6-foot-4 junior cornerback for Tulane in 2026, and that frame alone makes him interesting: he brings rare length, a 4.5-second 40, and a strong athletic profile from West Jefferson, where he also played receiver and ran track. In 2024, he appeared in 10 games and logged a tackle on special teams, so he’s still building his defensive résumé—but the tools are loud. He looks like a developmental secondary piece who can fit a team that values size, speed, and physical upside over instant polish.
