AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Downfield Threat
 Speed
One of the better blocking tight ends in the nation, Nordin may slip through the cracks because of his broken ankle. Possesses the tools to make it as a third tight end brought onto the field during short-yardage situations.


Biography:

Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a junior. Receiving totals were 14/159 last year when he missed five games with a broken ankle. Junior totals were 26/266/1.

Pos:

Tough blocking tight end with good size. Quick off the snap, has a nasty attitude and looks to finish off opponents. Always looking for someone to hit. Can block in motion. Chips defenders and removes opponents from their angle of attack. Solid eye/hand coordination as a pass catcher.

Neg:

Marginal playing speed, not a downfield threat nor a wide out who can stretch the seam. Limited productivity catching the ball.
