Nicholas is a long, 220-pound beast who also is a highly regarded football prospect (TE / DE). On the lacrosse field, that football physicality combined with his polished footwork and an active stick make Nicholas a menacing on-ball presence. Nicholas is adept at causing turnovers via aggressive slaps and stick checks as well as by taking the body. He is especially effective at shutting down X-attackmen in 1v1 scenarios behind the net. With his enormous wingspan and quick reactions, Nicholas can disrupt passing lanes with his stick too. When the ball hits the turf, his solid frame and positioning skills enable Nicholas to box out opposing players until he can secure possession. Nicholas will then quickly roll into open space and deliver a pass up field. Lastly, Nicholas is a tremendous team defender as he constantly communicates with his defensive unit and slides on time as well as with purpose.
