Bo Nix

Bo Nix was a decorated high school recruit, named the nation's #1 quarterback prospect by Rivals.com. Nix set Alabama state records with over 12,000 career offensive yards, and 161 career TD accounted for (127 passing; 34 rushing) and had his choice of schools to attend. He decided to stay home and play for the Auburn Tigers. Nix was the first true freshman quarterback to start a season opener for Auburn since 1946 where he set several Auburn freshman records, including completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. During his first season with the Tigers, he threw at least one touchdown in 12 out of 13 games and ended with 2,542 yards and 16 passing touchdowns. He also racked up 313 yards and 7 touchdowns on the ground on his way to earning the distinction of SEC Freshman of the Year. Nix was named a team captain for his sophomore year and during the COVID season, threw for 2,415 and 12 touchdowns in 11 games. During his junior season, he broke his ankle late in the season, but before his year ended, he’d thrown for 2,294 yards and 11 touchdowns. Following his junior year, Nix entered the transfer portal and became an Oregon Duck. Last year at Oregon, Nix had a resurgence and became one of the nation’s best quarterbacks. He threw for a career high of 3,593 yards and finished with 44 total touchdowns (29 passing, 14 rushing and 1 receiving). His 14 rushing touchdowns led all FBS quarterbacks. After the season, Nix announced he would not enter the NFL Draft and would return to Eugene for his last season. In 2023, Nix finished 3rd in the Heisman Trophy after leading Oregon's high powered offense to an 11-2 record. He was effective all season long and threw for 4,508 yards and 45 touchdowns for the Ducks while only throwing 3 interceptions.
