Nicholas Carl "Nick" Sorensen (born July 31, 1978) is an American football coach and former safety who is currently a special teams assistant coach for the Seattle Seahawks. He was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2001. He played college football at Virginia Tech.
Sorensen lived in Vienna, Virginia and attended George C. Marshall High School. He lettered three seasons, each, in football, basketball and baseball. He threw for 1,925 yards and 23 TDs during his football career and rushed for 604 yards and 10 TDs. He was inducted into the George C. Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame, which includes other NFL players Keith Lyle and Mike McCrary.
Sorensen was a four-year letterman for the Virginia Tech Hokies and started at safety and linebacker during his final two seasons where he posted 117 tackles, ten tackles for losses, four sacks and an interception. He began his college career as a quarterback, and completed 42 of 80 passes for 446 yards with four touchdowns and nine interceptions. At 19 years, 3 months of age, Sorensen made a mid-season start replacing the injured Al Clark against UAB going making 11 of 21 passes including a 22-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Gildersleeve. Sorensen was named Virginia Tech's Player of the Game in the 1998 Gator Bowl loss to North Carolina. In 1999, Sorensen moved from quarterback to defense, turning over the quarterback duties to the team's talented freshman, Michael Vick. That year Vick took the Hokies to a national championship game and a No. 2 national ranking. Sorensen finished fourth on the team with 70 tackles, one less than future Brown Ben Taylor. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in marketing.
