It dawned on me in my final interview with Tre Nixon that he’s no longer a high school recruit. Nixon and the Class of 2016 have graduated from Viera (Fla.) High. Nixon now should be considered a freshman at Ole Miss.
I was able to spend a few minutes with Nixon at his alma mater between packing sessions.
Speaking with him, I wasn’t thinking about his many on-field accomplishments or the mountain of awards he’s accumulated throughout his high school playing career, which include being named the 2015 Florida Class 7A Player of the Year.
