Four-Star Linebacker Commits To Miami Hurricanes Over FSU Football
Florida State has earned national attention for its haul on the recruiting trail over the last seven days. The Seminoles are putting together the makings of another top-15 class but the reality of the situation is they won’t land every single prospect that they covet.
On Monday, four-star linebacker Gavin Nix announced on social media that he was committing to Miami over FSU. Nix was one of the names near the top of the linebacker board after coming through Tallahassee for an official visit at the end of June.
The Florida native was on campus twice this year, including last weekend. He also took official visits to Miami and Oregon.
This is certainly a nice pickup for the Hurricanes but it’s not really the end of the world for Florida State. The Seminoles already have four-star Ethan Pritchard committed and are in the driver’s seat to land four-star Tavion Wallace, who will announce tomorrow between the Seminoles, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, and South Carolina. Plus, the coaching staff is continuing to do its due diligence on Ohio State pledge TJ Alford.

Nix is coming off a junior season at IMG Academy where he recorded 42 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and one sack.
The 6-foot-0, 225-pound linebacker is regarded as the No. 88 overall prospect, the No. 11 LB, and the No. 15 recruit in Florida in the 2025 class according to 247Sports.
Florida State holds nine verbal commitments in #Tribe25 which ranks No. 36 in the country. The Seminoles have more than doubled their class over the past few weeks after landing four-star defensive tackle Kevin Wynn, four-star wide receiver CJ Wiley, four-star defensive tackle Myron Charles, four-star tight end Chase Loftin, and four-star defensive back Zae Thomas.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.
The flames had spread from a fire in a manhole that “ignited an FPL vault of an adjacent building,” officials said.
Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area of Collins Avenue between 16th and 17th streets while crews worked the scene.
