Recently, Notre Dame has been showing interest in 2020 wide receiver Will Nixon of Waco (Texas) Midway.

Nixon said he’s been in touch with the Irish for about a month now, and will make his way to campus for the first time this weekend.

The Texas talent said he’s excited to see South Bend up close.

“I’m really excited,” Nixon told Blue & Gold Illustrated. “I’ve always admired Notre Dame. They’ve got great academics to go along with great football.”

Nixon has been speaking primarily with special teams/recruiting coordinator Brian Polian, who apparently has sold Notre Dame well so far.

“I really like him,” Nixon said. “I think he’s a cool coach and it will be great to meet him and talk to him.”

This weekend will be Nixon’s first trip to Notre Dame, but the Midway standout is plenty familiar with the Irish.

Nixon said he’s has his eye on Notre Dame for a while.

I’ve watched Notre Dame play a lot over the past couple years,” Nixon said. “I just like to watch them play.”

So far, Nixon holds offers from Baylor, Louisiana Tech, Rice, North Texas, Tulsa. Temple and others.

While some schools see him as a wide receiver, Nixon said he’s also received offers to play running back and cornerback.

Notre Dame definitely views him as a receiver, and Nixon said an offer from the Irish would be an awesome moment for him.”

“That would be huge for me.” Nixon said. “I’d be super excited.”

As offers continue to come in, Nixon said he’ll be keeping an eye on a few specific factors while evaluating schools.

"Definitely discipline in academics for sure,” Nixon said. “I look for work ethic.”
