Despite this he was an important part of the Auburn football team, and he ended his time with Auburn having started in 34 games and had 39 touchdowns.
Nix announced his transfer in mid-December and fans were shocked. Nix left Auburn in search of the chance to compete for a national championship and in his eyes, Oregon was the right place to go. The Ducks are excited for Nix and even got a chance to see how he played with the team on April 23rd at the spring game where not only did Nix have his debut but so did new head coach Dan Lanning. With football camp in full swing and the Georgia game two weeks away, Duck fans are eager to see how the team will do with Nix.
