Bo Nix flashed as an exciting dual-threat quarterback in college football. He began 2019 at Auburn University College and then transferred to the University of Oregon as a receiver. His journey eventually led to being selected as the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, selected by the Denver Broncos, as a validation of all his hard work and talent.

Bo's family has been a sacred life support system to him. His father, Patrick Nix, was Auburn's quarterback and passed on a football gene or two down the line. But Bo's success is not just his own; that glory belongs to all of his brothers, with Caleb and Tez also making their way through the sport.

Footballing Journey & Achievements

Tez played high school football at Pinson Valley High. Bo may have had him beat in size, but Tez stood tall on the field in his own right with skill and heart. He then transferred to the University of Oregon and played wide receiver.

Tez has earned the moniker "The Weapon" at Oregon for his speed and elusiveness. The journey from a rough childhood to college success is a tribute to his determination and the Nix family. For Tez, playing next to Bo at Oregon was like a match made in heaven, and it showed during games.
