Mel Kiper just released his top 25 overall players. Along with Nixon, Linderbaum is not on the list, but he is Kiper's #2 center.
A junior college transfer who made only one start for the Hawkeyes last season, I was waiting to add Nixon to my rankings. I can't wait any longer, though, because he has been one of the most dominant and disruptive players in the country in 2020. Just watch his athleticism on this pick-six. He looks like a tight end running the ball, except he weighs 300 pounds. Nixon has really come into his own this season, racking up 5.5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss. He has some pass-rushing moves from the interior. He has a big wingspan. He's great against the run. Nixon is my new No. 1 defensive tackle.
