About Nicholas

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I have a consistent shooting ability from all areas of the court. I enjoy stealing the ball and driving to the rim for layups or dunks. As a strong power forward, I contribute to the team on both offense and defense by providing rebounds and assists. My statistics are consistent from game to game, often achieving double-doubles and even triple-doubles.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a quiet kid who gets along well with people once I get to know them. I have a great sense of humor and I try to keep the team motivated with my energy. I am easy to coach and take direction well. I am always ready to try new plays and see what happens.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Presidential Award for Academic Achievement. 4.0 GPA throughout my Junior HIgh and High School years. A-Honor Roll every quarter since 7th Grade. All-Conference Academic and Athletic Award Boy Scout for 5 years.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I'm a good leader and teammate. Although I am the youngest of four siblings, I have often been seen as a big brother to many of my friends. I spent five years in the Boy Scouts (two of those years as a troop leader), during which I participated in various community service projects.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am pursuing a college opportunity where I can challenge myself academically while competing and developing within a high-level basketball program. I am seeking an undergraduate major in Exercise Science and a Master's Degree in Athletic Training.

Well, first of all, you have to like his length! Taylor is an athletic slasher that you will want to see. Nick is a high-potential offensive baller. He is a dangerous slasher to the rim and will also drill middy jumpers. ON defense, Taylor changes the game with his rim-protecting.

Nicholas absolutely dominated at moments in the one game I saw him in, controlling the painted area. The 6’7” sophomore forward has exceptional athleticism and it was on full display on both ends of the floor. He rose up for some big time blocks, providing an elite interior defensive presence. Taylor also threw down a huge two-handed dunk in the half court, really catching my eye.
