Nicolas Angel Siragusa (born May 10, 1994) is an American former professional football player who was an offensive guard in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the San Diego State Aztecs, and was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft.

Early life

A native of San Diego, Siragusa attended Mater Dei High School in Chula Vista, California, where he only played two years of varsity football after playing baseball and basketball during his freshman and second years.

Regarded as a three-star recruit by ESPN, Siragusa was ranked as the No. 102 offensive tackle in a 2012 class highlighted by D. J. Humphries and Andrus Peat. Siragusa committed to his home-town San Diego State Aztecs over offers from Fresno State, New Mexico State, San José State, and others.

College career

Siragusa was a four-year starter at San Diego State. On November 14, 2016, it was announced that Siragusa had accepted an invitation to appear in the 2017 Senior Bowl. He attended the Senior Bowl, but suffered a thumb injury on the first day of practice that sidelined him for the rest of the week and the Reese's Senior Bowl game.

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens selected Siragusa in the fourth round (122nd overall) of the 2017 NFL draft.

On May 5, 2017, the Ravens signed Siragusa to a four-year, $3.02 million contract, including a $628,379 signing bonus. However, during a training camp practice on August 1, Siragusa tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL. He was placed on injured reserve on September 1, 2017, ending his rookie season before it began.

On September 1, 2018, the Ravens waived Siragusa during final roster cuts and resigned him to the practice squad the next day.
