With Sergio Phillips and JonDarius Gardner graduating after next year, there's really not that much depth at nose tackle moving forward. Noble Hall is in a spot where he will be featured at nose for the next two seasons but there's nobody else in my mind really. Jordan Watson could have been an impact guy but he's gone. The only other option for the future at nose tackle I can see is maybe Forrest Hanlon, who in one or two more years will have to size to match his physicalness as a very stout lineman.
So there's a good chance SDSU goes for a JuCo nose tackle midyear next year but as for right now it looks like they're keying in on Vista Murrieta DL Anthony Mermea.
Coach Gonzales has seen him a handful of times this year and when you watch his film you can see why.
He's a prototypical fit for the job. Versatile, quick off the snap, explosive, strong hands and does well reading the backfield. Mermea's currently being recruited as a midtier MWC guy as of now.
