The Hawai'i football team's winning streak has extended to recruiting.

A day after defeating Navy for their fourth victory in a row, the Warriors yesterday secured a verbal commitment from one of the most productive junior college cornerbacks in California.

"I'm going to be a Warrior," said Travaun Nixon, a sophomore from Ventura College.

Nixon said he is 6 feet and 190 pounds. www.JCfootball.com lists his 40-yard dash at 4.42 seconds.

Last year, as a safety, Nixon made eight interceptions.

In 2009, he had six interceptions in seven games. His average of 0.86 picks per game was fourth best in the California Community College Athletic Association, which fields 71 football teams.

Nixon recently was named to the Southern California Football Association's all-star first team.

Nixon completed his 48-hour Hawai'i recruiting trip yesterday. He said he notified the coaches of his decision last night.

"I like the atmosphere at their games," Nixon said. "I like the way they play. And I like the coaches. They're real good, real open-minded."

He said his host was cornerback Jeramy Bryant, who made a key fourth-quarter tackle against Navy.

"He's real cool, very friendly," Nixon said.

Nixon said he also was impressed with the local cuisine.

"I got to eat a lot," he said. "There's a lot of good food in Hawai'i. I'm liking it."

By committing to UH, Nixon is turning down scholarship offers from Arizona and Texas-El Paso. He said he is canceling next week's scheduled trip to UTEP.

Nixon said he has earned enough credits to transfer after this semester. He will enroll at UH in January, and participate in the offseason conditioning program and spring training.

He aspires to a career working with youths.

Nixon also said he looks forward to playing for Greg McMackin, his second "Coach Mack."

Ventura's head coach is Jon Mack.

"Hawai'i's a perfect fit," Nixon said.
