Committed April 28th, 2020

Reason for Committing, "I would say the love that the staff has shown me like they want me, and I want to go somewhere where I will be used and taken care of, and I trust the coaching staff to do that."

Fit- "they want me at a Jauan Jennings type position- like a deep ball, go get it type of guy." Nixon is a big-framed, wide receiver who can work various spots at the college level, and his size will make him a swiss-army type of player.
