August 16, 201016 yr Wow, Nichols has reallyh hit the training table. Looks like the dinneer table as well wow. He has NFL size, reminds me of former Bluebird and Boilermaker Sean Sester.
August 17, 201016 yr Here is a picture of Nichols. [ATTACH]32277[/ATTACH] You think Tate is big, I just read where Newport Cathlic has a player that is 6'10" 330 lbs.:scared: His name is Gruenschlager (sp). I would think plenty of colleges are looking at this young man.

I would think plenty of colleges are looking at this young man. He played last year. He plays some DT, but doesn't move very well. If I'm not mistaken, he's had some foot or ankle issues.

August 18, 201016 yr Author We've talked about who are the freshmen right now that have to be prepared to play. I'll list them for you. Now things could change. We're only 13 practices into is. But on the offensive side of the ball, TJ Jones, Tommy Rees, Alex Welch, Tate Nichols and Christian Lombard. All five of those guys right now have to be prepared to play. They're playing in a two-deep role in some fashion. (Austin) Collinsworth is someone who's not in the two-deep yet (at receiver), but he's on every special team that we have. So there are six freshmen on offense, and that's the most I've ever had in 20 years of coaching that will be eating breakfast with the team." It appears both NKY boys have surprised the Irish coaches. That's pretty impressive for both young men.
August 24, 201016 yr He played last year. He plays some DT, but doesn't move very well. If I'm not mistaken, he's had some foot or ankle issues. He's moving a lot better this year. That's where NewCath ran the ball the whole second half, right behind him.
August 25, 201016 yr He's moving a lot better this year. That's where NewCath ran the ball the whole second half, right behind him. Yeah, I noticed that. He looked like a completely different player last Friday night. I was impressed.
August 27, 201016 yr Not to take away from the kid but at that size he's probably not going to face too many people within 50 lbs of him in weight at the HS level.

From that quote I guess we should not expect to see Hendrix or Massa since he listed only one freshman qb.
