Mario Nixon only has a season and a half of high school football experience, but what he displayed in a limited time was enough to garner a scholarship offer from the University of Virginia. Nixon, a 6-5, 210-pound wide receiver/safety out of Norfolk Christian (Norfolk, VA), scored the offer in late February.

"It was huge," Nixon said of receiving the offer. "It's a big blessing. Last year was my first full year playing football, so I think it speaks volumes to how hard I've worked. I want to be the best.
