Nick Forde brought veteran safety savvy and captain energy to Northwestern State
In the 2019 season, Nicholas Forde was a steady, high-motor safety for Northwestern State, starting all 12 games and finishing as the team’s fifth-leading tackler with 55 tackles, including a career-high eight stops against Southeastern Louisiana; he also forced a fumble and delivered tackles for loss at McNeese. He’s the kind of defensive back coaches love: experienced, versatile across free safety/strong safety/nickel, and trusted enough to be a two-time captain. If you want a vocal, physical communicator in the secondary who knows how to anchor a defense, he fits the bill.
