Within the next few months, Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy Top 100 linebacker Gavin Nix will make his college commitment. The 6-0, 225-pounder is an elite talent in the class of 2025, who can essentially go anywhere in the country. Ranked as the No. 88 overall player in America, he’s ready to find a home and take his talent to the next level.
“The main thing is being compatible with the coach. Especially your position coach, these are the guys you’re going to be around for the next three, four or five years,” said Nix, when asked what he’s looking for in a school. “Can I wake up early and go through this hard process with these guys? Do I trust them to develop me to get me to this next step of my life? Third, what can I get out of this institution? With NIL, with what the school has to offer, the opportunities you have to bring, the connections, all those things mean a lot because ball gets my foot in the door. It’s not everything. Ball will end at the end of the day, so it’s about what I can get out of that institution.”
So, where will he end up? Florida, Alabama, Notre Dame, and many others are pushing for him. However, there are three schools clearly cementing themselves as the major players in this recruitment.
