Four-star OL Addison Nichols sets commitment date

Earlier this month Addison Nichols trimmed his list to North Carolina, Ohio State and Tennessee. Now the 6-foot-5, 318 pound four-star offensive tackle out of Norcross (Ga.) Greater Atlanta Christian has taken that next step.

He has set a date to announce his commitment.

“I will be committing August 2 at 12pm ET,” said Nichols. “

Nichols eliminated numerous schools when he cut his list to three. Florida is out. Georgia is out. USC is out. Two others are soon to be out. And in Nichols’ mind, there is only one left standing.

“I’ve made up my mind and I am ready to commit. I’ve found the spot for me.”

Nichols has family ties to Tennessee, and he grew up a big fan of the Vols. He has attended games at Neyland Stadium from a young age.

Ohio State had a lot of buzz coming off the official visit in June, and the Buckeyes are viewed as a strong contender. The dark horse in this race is North Carolina. Nichols took an unofficial visit to Chapel Hill, and the Tar Heels surprised him with their combination of academics and athletics.

We are a week away from Nichols’ announcement and here is what he said:
