Write-up from the Eastern Washington athletic web site (http://goeags.com/sports/m-footbl/2009-10/releases/10fbFeb11Nichols) regarding QB Matt Nichols and how there is an increasing spotlight on him heading into the all important lead-up to the NFL Draft.
Record-breaking Eastern Washington University quarterback Matt Nichols still has his work cut out for him, but at least he's getting noticed.
An appearance at last month's East-West Shrine Game in Orlando, Fla., has opened the eyes of NFL scouts and draft analysts. In fact, ESPN will air highlights and discuss Nichols in the segment "NFL Draft Lab" on Monday (Feb. 15) on the 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. (Pacific time) SportsCenter broadcasts.
Most notably, Todd McShay from ESPN saw Nichols at the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 23 and made several positive comments during the game broadcast. Nichols completed 3-of-6 passes for 42 yards with a long completion of 30 yards, and also rushed three times for a net eight yards with a 15-yard gain. His Eastern teammate, Nathan Overbay, had one catch for 41 yards.
