3-star average (3-star on 247Sports, Rivals & ESPN)

Josh Ward’s Analysis:  Nimrod looks like a really good athlete with his background in track. With his size, Nimrod should offer legit playmaking skills in Josh Heupel’s offense.

Eric Cain’s Analysis:  Another late bloomer, the Tennessee staff offered the Arkansas native following a private workout in August. Nimrod can play all over – inside or out – and is a deeper-threat target down the field. He’s a great away from the ball as well, blocking downfield on run plays. Another special teams player, Nimrod could get a look as a returner. The wideout is more a developmental player, but one who could be a steal down the line as the SEC offer was good enough to keep away Utah State, Illinois, Washington State, Indiana and Kansas State.
