Tuesday marks the reporting day for most of the Florida Gators true freshmen signing class of 2009. One of the most eager to arrive is offensive tackle Xavier Nixon of Fayetteville (NC). He has worked himself busy in the offseason and finally away from basketball, he comes in at 6-6 and 290 pounds and physically ready to handle the rigors of the trenches of college football.

Xavier Nixon has a chance to see some early playing time with the absence of the tackles from last years team. But it won’t come without hard work and dedication. It takes a lot to be a starter at UF and just having vacant spots doesn’t mean the criteria is cut down. I mean afterall, someone has to protect Tebow and push the line for the rush offense we established last year.
Nixon added that there have been no surprises yet. Things were described accurately for him and about what his future would be as a Gator and he knows what the coaches want.
