Nixon redshirting

[4thngoal]

Academic redshirt.

Yeah, just saw this too.

Well, that's a kick in the teeth. We don't have the most athletic DTs and definitely could have used him this season in a big way. Hopefully, the light comes on for Lattimore and M. Nelson rehabs quickly.

I didn't even know that was a thing. I might have availed myself of that option when I was in school.

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

That kind of shocks me...he's got Spring...and Summer to shore up any deficiencies there. Maybe he goes to Alabama now and plays right away. LOL

Working on a story. He will have three years of eligibility beginning in '19.

Which we will be lucky to have him starting for two.
Unless he absolutely loves college and finishing his degree is top of the list for his family and him.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Well crap. At least he'll have 3 yrs to play still but dang. Was really looking forward to him mixing it up in there

 

[HawkleberryFinn]

The chance of him staying three years is slim.

 

[4thngoal]

Well he really can't transfer without losing year anyway, I don't think.
He definitely has the "overcome whatever is thrown at you" attitude. Which is going to be an absolute joy to see when he does get to strut his work ethic.
It will be an awesome Iowa the journey story to say the least.

Anyone else think we never see Nixon on the field at Iowa?

JFC - No way this kid ever plays a down at Iowa.

Not a chance at this point.

Wouldn't he want to put a year on film of major college football to help his draft stock?

Ya at Southern Illinois or UNI

If he's good enough, they'll find a way to keep him at Iowa, and it doesn't involve cheating.

Jumping the gun there a bit, aren't we?

And lose another year of eligibility? Not likely.

He stuck with Iowa through the JUCO route, I doubt he bails on them now.

He'll be on the Dean's list at North Carolina

Parker Hesse can maybe rotate in at Dee Tackle which gives eppy more plays at right dee end
