Nix, who some have compared to Jonathan Vilma because of his speed and cerebral nature, chose Miami over FSU and Oregon.
I can understand the Vilma comparison but it’s really just the speed, quickness, and size. Love how he sheds blocks! This kid is a great prospect, but my only knock on him, which is fixable easily with proper coaching, is his tackling. He tackles HIGH! He’s so fast and has great instincts, but when he gets to the ball carrier, he doesn’t have that “pop”. Needs to break down and run through runners. I’d have to watch a few full games to see if he missed tackles. He doesn’t shy away from contact, so it’s just a technique thing that will get fixed.
