Nixon enters transfer portal

[ottoman89]

Well, this is bad, real bad.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

WTH for? Dude has a starting gig with his name written all over it now. If he thinks the grass is greener someplace else he's dreaming. This bums me out.

 

[koralakers]

Unreal. Instead of having nothing but playing time for the next how many years, who knows where he ends up, and how many ppl he will play behind. This guy is truly the IDIOT of all IDIOTS

Entering the portal doesn’t mean they are for sure gone, although it’s looking that way. Makes more sense that they were looking at the grad transfer DT from Rice now.

 

[ShockHawk22]

NOOOOOOO

 

[tksirius]

Maybe he feels like the Iowa coaching staff wasn't treating him fairly?

Yeah I imagine Kirk doesn't look to fondly on transfer exploration. That has to be worse than taking visits while committed in his eyes.

Probably changed his mind and decided to accept Saban’s offer to attend Alabama?

 

[RobHowe]

I've messaged the kid and his father but have not heard back.

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

I honestly wonder if he has his grades up to be eligible at Iowa?

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

This one surprised me. Dang.

 

[tksirius]

Phil made it seem like everything was so hunky-dory...

 

[PCHawk]

It just seemed like him playing at iowa was never going to happen.

I’d guess grades or fit here. He wasn’t practicing and didn’t play so something was off. Hopefully we get the kid from rice or we have some developing talent. Coaches moved the kid from Solon to center so they must have a plan.

Wow, he has a great position coach, a great DE to take pressure off DTs and another really good DEnd..Does he not want to rotate? Does he think he should play every down?

I bet its grades though.

Almost has to be. The coaches were praising his effort and ability all the way through bowl season. Unless something wacky happened, nothing else would make sense.
