Scouting Report

July 29, 2026

Rocco Nicholl #4

Kent State · LB · R-Sr · 2027 Draft · Philadelphia, Pa. · St. Joseph Prep

6-5 · 245 lbs

5.4

UDFA

Floor 5.1 · Ceiling 5.5

#1323 overall · #177 LB of 15102

Scouting Verdict

Moved in both directions and landed here. Second-team preseason All-MAC linebacker on both feeds is real billing, but he recorded seven tackles at South Florida in 2025 — the accolade gets him up, the production keeps him out of the 6s.

Ceiling · 5.5

Projected 2026 starter (LB1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.1) · MAC draft-temper · LB lower-value.

Floor · 5.1

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.3.

Pedigree
