The other SEC teams who were interested in Nicolas were Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M.
Nicolas is now the second DL to commit to Auburn from the 2024 class. Nicolas joins 3-star commit Malik Blocton.
Freeze joins Auburn after spending the last few seasons coaching at Liberty. Freeze last coached in the SEC for Ole Miss from 2012-2016.
It wasn’t an ideal season for Auburn last year as it missed out on a bowl game at 5-7. The Tigers parted ways with Bryan Harsin during the season and handed the reigns over to interim HC Cadillac Williams.
Williams was retained on the staff and will be the associate HC/RB coach this season.
Here is a highlight clip of Nicolas from his junior year:
