Xavier Nixon (71)
Dec 15, 2008
While speaking with Xavier Nixon's father, Command Sergeant Major Kenneth Nixon, on Sunday via web cam from Kandahar, Afghanistan, WRAL learned that Xavier has narrowed his list of colleges to three.
In no particular order, his list now includes North Carolina, Florida and LSU.
The senior offensive tackle is considered one of the best players in the country, and some recruiting analysts have deemed him the No. 1 player in his class.
Nixon will play in the Army All-American Bowl in January, and he has been named a finalist for the National Player of the Year award. He has already been named the Gatorade Player of the Year in North Carolina.
Gary Fowler, the head coach of the North Carolina Shrine Bowl team, picked Nixon to represent North Carolina in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolina's on Dec. 20, but Nixon had to withdraw in order to travel to New York to accept an award.
The details of the award are not yet known.
