Clean sheets

3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.5, Nigro carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the USL Championship (top 27%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Las Vegas Lights finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
