BREAKING: Miami Beats FSU & Oregon For Four Star LB Gavin Nix | More To Come This Week?

The Miami Hurricanes have just landed a verbal commitment from four star linebacker Gavin Nix. The Class of 2025 IMG Academy standout chose Miami over FSU and Oregon. Nix referred to his Hurricanes official visit in June as a game-changer after he really connected with linebackers coach Derek Nicholson. Nix was the defensive captain at IMG last season and is regarded as being physically mature enough to get on the field as a freshman.
Host Alex Donno reacts to the Nix commitment and offers scouting reports from recruiting experts Brian Smith and Larry Blustein. The Hurricanes just moved up from the 15th ranked class in America to top 15 for 2025. Donno wonders if Miami can get good news soon from four star safety Hylton “Drake” Stubbs, four star IOL Seuseu “SJ” Alofaituli and 2026 quarterback Dereon Coleman. Stubbs and Coleman will both be making announcements later this week.

[@raymondwatson4117]

So next yr are we going to play PoPo, Washington, Nix. What do you think Donno

[@Historicallybuilt]

Miami getting receivers soon. Defense & the special teams is set & will play great. It’s a process & Coach C & his staff is doing a great job getting talent & hard workers. Building a culture like the old Hurricanes. The alumni lettin these guys know about expectations. FSU had a good run last season but their depth hurt em. quitters & cry babies don’t help at QB. FSU does not have a QB. They may win 7-8 games but Canes won’t be one of them. Can’t wait! QBs in the room rnw. Good liter of great speedsters out the bottom. Dont haft to worry about receivers! They will come. Defense wins championships! Ball control with good solid Running game TEs that block run & can catch. Xavier is all ACC 4th year junior at slot! Got a good center. The deep threats are coming & another Slot. Big fast boy on the 9 route to take the top off defense & open up running game. Miami building like Michigan had. Great Defense ball control run the clock out on you & beat you up. Stay tuned. Go Canes!!

[@georgecherry1568]

A lil birdie told me that Jeremiah said the 1st red light. He's hitting the Portal and coming BACK HOME

[@jalo5855]

Could you imagine if he was here in ‘24? Wow!

[@juhgfdsapiyhhnnxc3517]

They gotta go 4-3 after next year

[@damotivewasmoney8648]

We should be able to do multiple things sooner than later

[@jefferyfrancis3673]

LETS GO CANES LETS GET IT!!🏈

[@madeindade3052]

[@markweaver2439]

Nice pick up. Still no WR's. Mills to Oakie and Wilson at Oregon. Looks like we are going to have to go the flip route.

[@isaiahrobins4395]

Was their two duds making decisions today?

[@georgecherry1568]

MIAMI IS SETTING THE STANDARD NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT THE PUZZLE TOGETHER. WE ARE FINALS GETTING POSITION BUILT PLAYERS .GOT GET THOSE SOUTH FLORIDA RECEIVERS

[@904Hurricane]

Can someone please call Johnny's Mom and ask her to go to the basement and do a welfare check on him ? Looks like he deleted his comment about meanwhile Fsu is getting the better LB tomorrow. I am assuming it's the LB Washington got and Fsu whiffed (again) on. 😭 Poor little Johnny TallyWhacker, he tried his best coach ! 😂😂 🙌

[@user-he1vf4gn6l]

Donno, your boy keeps putting his fingers together like he's a distinguished gentleman. I couldn't follow shit that was being said in this video. The distinguished gentleman kept throwing me off. If this was a great video by you, I would never know, because, Damn.

[@user-he1vf4gn6l]

BTW, Go Noles.

[@addisonjames2325]

Keep stacking talent coaches. Go Canes!!
