Isaiah Nixon, a 4-star edge out of Saint Petersburg, Florida (Lakewood), has decommitted from Florida and flipped his commitment to Central Florida.
Nixon told Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports, after he’d been committed to the Gators since June, that, “I had a way better relationship with the coaches at UCF than I did at Florida.”
At the time of his commitment, Nixon was the No. 26 edge rusher in the class of 2023 and the No. 37 overall recruit from the state of Florida, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
He was the seventh player in Florida’s 2023 recruiting class, which at the time ranked No. 39 in the nation, per 247Sports.
