Nourzad was a second-team AFCA and third-team Phil Steele All-America selection on the offensive line as a senior in 2021. He was named Ivy League Offensive Lineman of the Year by Phil Steele. A two-time All-Ivy choice, he garnered first-team accolades in 2021 after being named second team in 2019. Nourzad started 20 consecutive games at right tackle, including anchoring an offensive line that led the Ivy League and ranked fifth nationally in fewest sacks allowed, breaking the school record of 17 in a season by nearly cutting it in half (nine). He was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, college football's Academic Heisman Trophy, in his final season and earned Academic All-Ivy League honors. Nourzad used his final two seasons of eligibility as a graduate transfer at Penn State.
