Nichols College freshman Devon Nelson, a Huntington High School graduate, has been named the New England Football Conference (NEFC) Defensive Player of the Week.
Nelson recorded a game-high 17 tackles (six solo) and 0.5 tackles for loss (TFL) in Saturday’s game against Endicott. He sits fifth on the Bison in tackles this season with 28 (14 solo) – including 3.5 TFL.
“Devon did a lot of great things on Saturday,” said Nichols third-year head coach Kevin Loney. “He really brought a presence to the middle of our defense. He’s only going to get better as he gets more snaps. I’m excited to see where he goes from here.”
