Bo Nix was special at Auburn 🔥 As a highly touted recruit from nearby Pinson, Alabama (son of former Auburn QB Patrick Nix), he immediately stepped in and delivered, throwing for 2,542 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for 313 yards and 7 scores in 2019, earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors and leading Auburn to a 9-4 record that included a thrilling Iron Bowl upset over Alabama. Over three seasons, he started 34 games, passed for 7,251 yards (3rd all-time at Auburn), 39 touchdowns, and added significant rushing production, helping the Tigers to three straight bowl appearances. Known for his dual-threat ability, toughness (including setting school records for consecutive passes without an interception), and big-play moments like long touchdown passes and scrambles, Nix’s Auburn tenure showcased promise amid the program’s ups and downs before he transferred to Oregon for his final two college seasons.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
