Scouting Reports

1/1

Preseason Scouting Report by Michael Meegan

Created August 24, 2021

(+) Athleticism Nelson is a plus athlete that really pops on tape especially in the run game.

(+) Size Nelson has the ideal height and, most importantly, length to play tackle.

(+) Experience Nelson started 13 games as a true freshman and appeared in 10 more as a sophomore even as a young player Nelson will be a seasoned player by the time he gets to the

(-) Strength Nelson’s play strength at the moment is just sub optimal and he is often bullied too often when a defender gets their hands on him. Nelson’s weight has been too low through his first 2 years at Miami and being listed at 315 for this season you hope this issue can be corrected.

(-) Balance Nelson often over sets and it leaves him off balance too often and it leads to him getting beat.  He needs to refine his punch and hand placement and really use his physical tools to his advantage.

(-) Full Season Nelson’s 2019 freshmen year was bad, so bad that he was on the bench to start 2020.  Nelson rallied to start the last 7 games but want to see him put together a full season of high level play.
