The senior had an impressive campaign last season, earning Big 56 All-Conference Second Team laurels at defensive back and leading the Tigers in pass breakups. So far this season, he leads the team with 10 pass breakups along with 19 total tackles and an interception. Humphries leads the team with 10 kick returns, averaging 21.1 yards per return with a long of 36 yards. He is also averaging 19.2 yards per punt return with a long of 40 yards. He has also seen time as a wide receiver on offense.
Nick is also a member of the North Allegheny Track and Field team in the spring where he won a goal medal at the Baldwin Invitational in the 4×100 relay and finished first in the long jump.
