4-star in-state LB Gavin Nix schedules commitment date
One of the country’s top football recruits is ready to announce his college decision, and Miami is right in the thick of the race.
Four-star linebacker Gavin Nix out of Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy has scheduled his commitment for Monday, July 1 at 7:00 p.m. EST, Trinton Breeze of CT has learned. The top schools that are in his considering is Oregon, Miami, and Florida State.
Nix has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Texas, Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Auburn, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia and Georgia Tech.
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, 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.
