At 6-6/295, he runs a 4.91 40.
Nic is bigger but not as fast as Ziggy.

Very good chance to get him. I think he is a must get but is still raw. Might be a redshirt his first year.

Haven't heard any updates or if the NCAA granted his petition. Isn't he a '13 recruit though?

He will not be coming to the Y. Oregon is working the NCAA to get him eligible. He played two games in NZ that NCAA is saying started his elibility clock and he is out of town now. If he gets to play he will go to UO because of their efforts. He would be a really good player though.

Harmon did an article recently and Anae was still putting effort into getting this guy. Nic was the one that indicated that only one team has to petition but he'd still be very open to going to BYU as well. I'm sorry but there's no way a petition would have even been considered by the NCAA if it had been completed by BYU.

Decided to go to the NFL after the NCAA hosed him:
