Nick Ektanitphong brings playmaking instincts and rotation-ready toughness to St. Thomas' secondary
Ektanitphong is a compact, active **DB** who earned snaps in St. Thomas’ secondary as a sophomore in 2019 and turned them into production, posting **2 interceptions, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 15 tackles** that season; the listed roster profile also notes his 5-foot-8, 176-pound frame and background as a Marshall High teammate of Trey Lance, which hints at a competitive, high-IQ football path. He profiles as a fit for teams that value instinct, quick-trigger tackling, and a defender who can force turnovers and contribute in rotation rather than just pile up raw size-based measurables.[1]
