Jack Britt High School’s Xavier Nixon, who is one of the nation’s top recruiting targets on the offensive line, narrowed his list of college possibilities to nine on Wednesday evening.

In-state universities North Carolina and N.C. State made the cut along with the nationally recognized programs at Clemson, Florida, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, South Carolina and West Virginia, according to Jack Britt head coach Richard Bailey. Bailey met with Nixon and his parents, Kenneth and Fotini Nixon, for nearly three hours Wednesday to discuss the nearly 40 scholarship offers received by the 6-foot-6, 275-pounder.

“I think he has a great list and he can’t go wrong with any of those schools,’’ Bailey said. “Now he’s going to spend the next three or four months getting to know the coaches at those schools a little more.’’
