FMSpro is proud to announce the commitment of Nico Engalicev to the University of British Columbia – Okanagan (UBCO).

Nico is an athletic and mobile defender capable of playing both center back and outside back. During his time at Proctor Academy, Nico emerged as a natural leader and the cornerstone of the back line. His reliability and defensive prowess earned him All-Lakes Region honors, a prestigious recognition reserved for the top players in the conference.

Coaches are particularly drawn to Nico’s versatility, a trait that allows him to adapt to multiple tactical systems. While several programs across North America showed interest, Nico chose to take his talents across the country to UBCO. As a top-tier academic institution, UBCO offers Nico the perfect environment to excel in the classroom while competing in the warmer climate of the Okanagan.

Under the leadership of Head Coach Dante Zanatta, the Heat were looking for a mobile center back with the range to cover the flanks—and Nico is expected to be the answer they need to elevate the team to the next level. Off the field, Nico is an exemplary student-athlete who has consistently maintained a very strong GPA.

A massive congratulations to Nico! We wish you the very best as you begin this exciting new chapter out west!
