The former Wolverine came to Michigan in 2020 as a walk-on out of Detroit Renaissance High School. After not seeing game action in his first two seasons, Nichols got his first opportunity to play as a junior.
Nichols appeared in two games, primarily participating on special teams against Hawaii and the University of Connecticut.
Last season, he got his first defensive snaps of his career, recording two assisted tackles against Indiana.
Nichols joins a Florida A&M defense that ranked third in the FCS in scoring defense and second in total defense.
