Nickson and his Weatherford teammates came out of the gates focused, dominating the start. They looked a step faster and tougher. They took a 9 point lead into the break because of that play, but in the second half the game started to slip away. Eventually they fell to down 4.

With the season on the brink, the Eagles turned to the OU football commit. He delivered, again and again. Eventually the game was tied with the clock running down and it was Nickson time. He drained a 18 footer off a pull off, something he’s done countless times in his Weatherford career. But this was was the shot of his dreams, the go ahead score in the State Title game. Weatherford would get the stop and Nickson’s 19 point, 6 rebound performance was the key to their Class 4A State Title.

The first six quarters of CJ Nickson CJ Nickson CJ Nickson 6'6" | SF Weatherford | 2025 State #309 Nation OK ‘s 2025 State Tournament were nothing to write home about. But the future OU Sooner got it going in the third quarter. Then he and his team never looked back. Bruising finishes on post ups. Physical bully ball drives. A steal, then slam in transition. To reach 32 points on the day, it was his free throw shooting that got him and his team over the top. 16 of 18 shooting from the line to be exact. Toss in 11 rebounds and it was a complete day at the office.

One of Oklahoma’s most gifted athletes of the last Decade, he’s been making plays at the Big House since his freshman year. Then finished second as a sophomore and junior. He now will get one more shot at Gold, and he earned it with a dominating game.

Nickson continues to make a play or two each game that is uncommon in Oklahoma. On Saturday it came with a two handed block where he defied gravity with the ease he elevated. Along with the physical feats, he’s an unselfish star that seems more focused on winning than personal accolades. Often was the creative hub for the Eagles in the halfcourt, drawing a crowd and then making the right reads to cutting teammates. Which led to assists and hockey assists. Has proven over his career that he can take over games when needed, but love the way he also lets his other teammates eat. Key part of the a team on a mission for the 4A title.

CJ Nickson CJ Nickson CJ Nickson 6'6" | SF Weatherford | 2025 State #309 Nation OK is one of the best all-around athletes in Oklahoma and looks to capitalize on Weatherford’s 4A championship hopes. He plays very physically which makes sense following his commitment to play football at the University of Oklahoma. Nickson is a force on both ends of the floor thanks to his unique blend of elite physical tools and feel with the ball in his hands. He seems unstoppable at times throughout 4A play which has helped make Weatherford one of the top contenders in the state this season.

Nickson has been a force in gyms since his freshman year. He entered high school already blessed with a strong and athletic frame, and unique skills making him a tough to cover bully ball game. It was evident from his freshman year that Nickson would be a student-athlete at the next level. As a sophomore, he picked up recruiting momentum on the gridiron and turned into a national recruit as an edge rusher. Which one look at how Nickson is built and moves, it was a no brainer.

Over the summer, he picked the University of Oklahoma as the destination of not only his football talents, but potentially his basketball talents as well. As both Sooner programs accepted Nickson’s commitment. When a lot of dual sport athletes put on the pads, their games tend to lean more toward football. But it’s apparent that basketball is his first love and he remains a true hooper. There’s a strong argument he could be the top player in this class.

Strong overall weekend for the physical dual sport star. He remains a monster in the paint, even against high level competition. While also having a locked in mid-range game, with a tough pull up.   After a slow start from deep, he finished strongly in the final two games. Especially encouraging as most of his makes from three were good, in rhythm catch and shoot opportunities. Nickson remains a high level football prospect, but is a hooper at heart who has the goods to be a mismatch problem at the next level.

Last Friday in Blanchard, the game was only a few seconds old and Nickson was already at the rim and flushing it with ease.  The Eagles would roll over top 10 competition, continuing their assault on the state this year, that was only briefly interrupted by a setback at the Tournament of Champions. All 22 of their wins have by double digits and a big reason for that has been unstoppable CJ Nickson CJ Nickson CJ Nickson 6'6" | SF Weatherford | 2025 State #309 Nation OK . His performance against Blanchard was an another example of his complete dominance, he had at least three dunks while also gliding by defender to avoid fouls on drives.

The junior is also an unselfish passer for the balanced Eagles and shoots it at a high clip. At the Oklahoma high school level, he’s an unique weapon who knows when to play with power and aggression or break out surprising finesse moves for a player his size. It isn’t just on offense, Nickson is just as likely to make an empathic block as he is to take a charge.

As a sophomore, Nickson led the Eagles to a Class 4A runner up and as a junior he has helped them to a top ranking in the Class 4A and in pole position to return to the Big House.  He’s a strong candidate for many spots on this breakdown, with freakish athleticism for his size and is one of the most unique players in the state. As Nickson has a bully game and frame but can do damage off the dribble with a smooth mid-range as a primary ballhandler for the Eagles.  This year he looks even stronger as a passer, as he plays with an unselfishness that spreads the wealth for his talented squad.  Oklahoma has a strong recent history of small town stars, and Nickson has firmly planted him in the conversation among the best.  And that’s with an impending playoff run, and one more full season to go for him to add to his impressive resume.

Nickson is a guy that can play multiple positions he spent a bunch of time bringing the basketball up for his club and was able to initiate the offense for them. Whenever a mismatch happened, he was able to give the ball up and go post up the smaller defender to make something positive for his team. At one point in the game, he was able to come down the court and pull up from the three-point line with a hand in his face and had no issues knocking it down.

Nickson only needed 11 shots to score 20 points. He produced in a variety of ways, patient drives and playing off two feet, and rim rattling slams. His unique mix of power and skill is nearly unstoppable in Oklahoma, just check out the highlights.
