In his true freshman year, Nichols played in just two games. Due to this, he earned a redshirt.

This season, he was a consistent member of the special teams unit and one of the first linemen off the bench. He played in every game this year between time on the offense and field goal units.

Nichols was a highly-rated prospect out of high school.

The Norcross, Ga. product was given a four-star rating by Rivals.com and was considered the No. 15 offensive tackle in the country. This was good for the No. 166 spot nationally, as well.

Now, Nichols will have three years of eligibility remaining to finish his college career.
