JOHN NILSON
John Nilson
Adds Spark
To Defense
Sometimes the Texas Aggies
are referred to as the Fightin’
Farmers. That could be a literal
description of senior tackle John
Nilson.
Nilson, a 6-3, 220-pounder from
El Campo, is a fierce battler in
the Aggie defensive line and he
plans to be a farmer once he’s
completed his work at A&M.
Nilson came to Aggieland “be
cause I always liked the Aggies.”
His father, who died when John
was in the fifth grade, was a
graduate of the University of
Texas, and A&lM! didn’t offer
John a scholarship.
“I had a one-year offer from
Texas Tech and Oklahoma State
wanted me to come up there,”
John says. “But, I had 60 acres
in rice and made enough to pay
my way to A&M.”
Nilson was out for the fresh
man football team and played
about two downs all season. At
the end of spring practice he
was still on the bottom of the
list. But, amazingly, he was a
starting tackle for the Aggies
the following fall when they
opened against LSU.
“I worked on the farm all sum
mer and hauled hay the last three
weeks and I came back for my
sophomore year in good shape,”
he explains. Then he adds, “but
I’m in better physical condition
now than at any time in my life.”
Nilson was a two-way per
former as a sophomore, an of
fensive specialist as a junior and
now is a defensive specialist as
a senior. “I’d rather play both
ways, but if I have to specialize,
I’ll take defense.”
A&M’s early-season defensive
showings are the results of a
number of things, Nilson thinks.
“We’ve got good coaching, we’re
in good physical condition and
the defensive unit has a lot of
pride.”
Nilson played three seasons at
El Campo High but the team
never won a district title al
though it won at least seven
games each of his three years.
He was an all-district performer
his senior year.
He is an entomology major at
A&M and that will come in handy
down on the farm. It even helps
now, as the foes’ defensive ef
forts hardly even bug Nilson.
