| An unusually athletic player for his size, Nixon is the most relentless OL in the class of 2009. Incredible first step and reaches 5 techniques with relative ease. He also possesses above-average upper and lower-body strength, which enables him to get movement and to re-establish the LOS. Nixon gets to the second level and has no problem getting to and cutting off speedy LBs and his mean streak really shows up in how he finishes--Burke Hayes |
| Biography: |
| Nixon is a big, athletic tackle that can pave the way for his running backs and he does a terrific job protecting the edge. He was named All-State First Team OL as a senior, Parade All-American, USA Today All USA and was a invitee to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. |
