Scuttle Contest

At level 3 you win the scuttle fight cleanly — your W movement speed lets you reach Scuttle first, and your E AoE combined with W on-hit damage overwhelms Nasus who has no meaningful combat tools at this stage beyond a slightly empowered Q.
From level 6, you win the 1v1 by activating R to close the gap, layering E on him, and using W to shred him before his E slow can create enough distance; the key condition is not letting him kite you through terrain.

Nasus will almost certainly start Krugs or Gromp for the bonus XP, then clear toward Scuttle in a standard full-clear path, as he has no reason to rush a specific side.
He will avoid early fights entirely and focus on farming Q stacks, meaning his jungle pathing is predictable and slow — he will not contest you aggressively.

You can invade Nasus at his second buff camp around 3:15-3:30 when he is likely low HP from clearing; his lack of mobility and weak early combat makes him easy to kill in his own jungle at this timing.
His Red Buff side after his initial clear is the optimal location, as he has no escape tool and your W speed advantage prevents him from disengaging.

Do not underestimate Nasus at 30+ minutes if he has been farming freely — a Nasus with 300+ Q stacks and R active becomes a legitimate 1v1 threat even against you, as his R bulk combined with E slow can neutralize your kiting advantage.
Avoid letting him freely stack by contesting his camps and forcing him to fight or flee rather than farming undisturbed.
