Plus, don't they share some facilities with the Steelers? That's a pretty big selling point as well...
I agree with you on the # of OL offers UF... It sure looks like we shouldn't have any problem finding 4-5 of these kids to come here...

Lucas claims 13 offers but admits he isn't sure about Wisconsin or tOSU since neither has been sent in writing.
Title changed pending clarification.

Film.
My take: Defense - has a lot to learn about technique, but a great athlete for his size. Plays very low and has a good motor. Tackling needs some work too...from these clips he seems more like someone who wraps and falls. Offense - his size, moreso his height, are much more obvious in these clips. Good speed for a kid his size. Overall - There are a couple of clips that stand out...I wonder if they aren't junior highlight and the rest are sophmore highlights, because it almost looks like two different players. Either way, I really like this kid as a defensive prospect.

I agree, but boy can he move down the line and get to the ball carrier, seems to have the motor that you want out of a dlineman...

The tackling was poor as he did kind of let the ball carrier fall into his lap...he needs to try use form and explode through the tackle. No problem though because the staff could easily iron that out. I loved how well he got to the next level on OL. He does have a great motor on defense and looks athletic. Good looking player and offer worthy.

For what it's worth, former Pittsburgh Steeler lineman Craig Wolfley, who is a sports talk show host in Pittsburgh, thinks Nix is the real deal as an OT.
