Forrest Nelson '24 Recruiting Profile

I began playing organized football in middle school at St. John’s Prep (Danvers, MA).  After grade 8 at St. John’s Prep I was accepted to and decided to attend the Groton School (Groton, MA) and reclassify as a repeat 8^th grader.  I was fortunate to start at center as an 8^th grader on a team that went 5-2.  Unfortunately, like many, my 9^th grade season was canceled due to Covid and the pandemic.  

For the past two seasons I have started both ways – center and defensive tackle.  I also long snap for PATs and punts. This past year, I was named First Team All-New England, First Team All-ISL and a captain for next year's team.  

In addition to playing football for Groton I am a defenseman on the hockey team (3 years varsity) and first baseman for the baseball team (this spring will be my third year starting for the varsity team).
