4-star IMG Academy LB Gavin Nix commits to Miami
BOOM! CAN I GET A YAHTZEE! Miami keeps it rolling on the recruiting trail with the Hurricanes landing IMG Academy four-star linebacker Gavin Nix.
Gavin made his pledge to Miami on his twitter page on Monday afternoon.
Nix came on a viist to Miami this month of June and the Hurricanes coaching staff did a good job on his visit to make his pledge to Miami.
Gavin Nix is a four-star linebacker and is rated as the No. 160 player in the class and also he is the No. 21 player as a linebacker and the No. 22 player in the Sunshine State.
After playing his freshman season at Orlando (Fla.) Lake Highland, Nix transferred to IMG as a sophomore. He’s 6-1 and is listed anywhere from 215 to 226. Nix is already well built for such a young player, and he plays with impressive power for such a young athlete. Nix lacks great height, but his length is impressive, his downhill burst stands out and his change of direction stands out on film.
Nix has the potential to be an impact run defender up the middle thanks to his physical tools and ability to make clean reads, which stands out for his age. Nix has potential as a pass rusher and he has plenty of experience in coverage.
As a junior at IMG Academy he racked up a total of 42 tackles with seven of this being tackles for loss and he also had five quarterback hurries along with a sack in 8 games per MaxPreps.
