DeCarlos Nicholson has come a long way in a year. The former Petal (Miss.) High School quarterback transitioned to the collegiate level with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College in 2020 with some success at the game's most important position.
Long and athletic at 6'3", 195 pounds, he made the move to defensive back in the spring and now a sophomore at MGCCC. Since the switch, a bevy of college football programs want to see him transition to the Power 5 level in the secondary.
Nicholson picked Kentucky in the summer.
"When I went out there I liked it," he said of Lexington.
