Nick Conway finished his 2016 season recording 33 tackles, 4.5 special team tackles and one sack as a defensive back for the Dakota Lancers.
Two reasons why Nick chose to play defensive back are because youβre not dependent on anyone else on the field, and youβre able to fly around and make plays.
The young Lancer has modeled his game after the NFLβs Darrel Revis. Nick mentioned, βI model my game after defensive back Darrel Revis because he is a very physical and lock down corner that likes to help out on the run.β

At the moment Nick doesnβt have any future school or football plans, but he would like to play football for as long as he can.
Nick has been talked to a few schools that would like to recruit him, but nothing too crazy as of right now.
We asked Nick what his top three schools of choice are, he doesnβt have a list but is open to go to any school. Staying close to home would appeal to Nick.
βI believe that the hardest thing to adjust to in the next level will be the speed of the game and the size of the players,β said Nick. βBut with proper training and time management I know I can make the jump.β
To continue to take his game to the next level, Nick will work-out with Lamar McGriggs at Strive in the weight-room, and do workouts on the field. Nick is also a member of Recruit Ready.
Nickβs brother has been very influential towards him in his football life. Heβs the one that got Nick into football when he was young. Nickβs brother now plays for the Manitoba Bisons.
Football is part of Nickβs identity. βIt is something that I think about all of the time and is something that I love to do,β proclaimed Nick.
Over the years football has greatly shaped Nickβs work ethic. Football has also taught Nick that nothing is handed to you.
Nick concluded, βIt’s taught me that a good work ethic is one of the best roads traveled to success in football and in life.β
