Notre Dame’s Hitman: SS Nicco Fertitta

In lieu of rejoining Notre Dame for 2015, Everett Golson bid a bon voyage for the Sunshine State. But I write this article with an intention to medicate those wounds towards bliss. Without further ado, I present freshman SS Nicco Fertitta.

Equipped with only a 5-foot-9, sub-200 frame, Nicco concluded his campaign at Bishop Gorman totaling 106 tackles and 5 INTs. Nicco will be joined by Bishop Gorman teammate, Alize Jones, who played as TE.

On the biological side, brother Lorenzo Jr., also found playing time at Bishop Gorman and is now on Villanova’s squad.

Born to Lorenzo Fertitta, CEO of the UFC, Nicco is naturally a hard hitter.
