K.D. Nixon, Southern California, Player News
|
For the past several years, Nixon and quarterback Sam Noyer were key players and leaders for the Colorado Buffaloes. Now, they will be trying to beat the Buffs, and their new teams are happy to have them on board. Nixon transferred to USC last winter, wh ile Noyer, who started all six games for CU in 2020, transferred to Oregon State in June. Both are in their final season of eligibility. Nixon ranks 19th in CU history in career catches (99) and receiving yards (1,221). He added five catches for 39 yards in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 26, his final game as a Buff. (CU doesn't count bowl stats in career totals).At USC, he joins a receiver group that is led by Drake London and Bru McCoy. Nixon is the only senior receiver on the team. "He brings t hat veteran leadership," Helton said. "Obviously he had a great experience at Colorado, very productive. That coaching staff did an amazing job with that kid, teaching him what it is to be a college football player, what it means to be a leader, and he's brought that veteran leadership to a group that's a little bit young." Helton is excited about Nixon's potential in the offense but also said the 5-foot-8, 190-pound speedster is practicing with others on kick and punt returns. "You can see (Nixon's exp losiveness) on the field already in our offseason workout drills, what he brings to the table; the overall strength that he has at the position," Helton said. "Really is going to be a dynamic player for us. "We're so glad to have him. He's gonna be a pro ductive member of our football team and I really appreciate his leadership." - Daily Camera

Colorado receiver KD Nixon is looking to play his final year of college football elsewhere. Nixon has entered the NCAA transfer portal and could play at another school as a graduate transfer next fall. Although he was a senior this season, all players ha ve been granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA because of the coronavirus pandemic. Entering the portal doesn't necessarily mean Nixon will leave CU, but it allows him to explore opportunities at other schools. Nixon, who has earned his bachelo r's degree, ranks 19th in CU history in career catches (99) and receiving yards (1,221), while adding seven touchdowns. He also had five catches for 39 yards in the Valero Alamo Bowl last month, numbers that CU doesn't count in its career totals. - Daily Camera

Speaking to a crowd in Boulder's Central Park on Friday morning, KD Nixon walked over to a police officer and shook his hand. "I couldn't do that growing up. I was scared to do that," said Nixon, a young black man who grew up in DeSoto, Texas, and came t o the University of Colorado to play football three years ago. Nixon and dozens of other CU athletes, coaches, administrators and community members gathered on Friday for Buffs March. An estimate of more than 500 people, including police officers, took p art in the roughly mile-long walk to support the Black Lives Matter movement and protest against racial injustice in the wake of the death of George Floyd.On May 25, Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis, died after being restrained by police. Floyd pleaded with officers that he couldn't breathe as they held him to the ground and one officer, Derek Chauvin, pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds. Those who participated in Friday's Buffs March, took a knee for 8:46, remaining s ilent throughout with fists raised, at the end of the walk. "It's a blessing," Nixon said of seeing so many people take part in the protest. "This is authentic. This ain't nobody trying to, you know, bring racism against people. No, this is everyone vers us police brutality. This is everyone standing together saying, 'Let's be stronger." - Daily Camera

Three years ago, KD Nixon and Laviska Shenault came to Boulder with visions of dominating together and they've posted some big numbers. During the past two seasons with the Colorado Buffaloes, the duo from DeSoto, Texas, has combined for 229 catches, 2,8 76 yards and 17 touchdowns. It's also been rare to see one on campus without the other. That will change this year, however, with Shenault in the NFL and Nixon playing his senior season at CU. This will be a much different unit without Shenault and Tony Brown, who each had 56 catches to lead CU last season. Shenault was a second round choice of the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, while Brown signed a free agent deal with the Cleveland Browns.Nixon, meanwhile, is eager to fill their shoes and lead the Buffs' receiving corps. "Our No. 1 goal was always to be the best receivers in the nation, both of us," Nixon said this winter of he and Shenault. "Also our goal was to take care of our family (by reaching the NFL). He's at an advantage right now an d he's leading the way." They've shifted their goals a bit this year. "He takes off in the NFL and I take off in college," Nixon said. "I'd be the best receiver in college football, he'd be the best receiver in the NFL. That's just our goals. We're not s lowing down just because we're not together. No, let's take it up another notch." Nixon, without question, wants to take his game up a notch. After a very good sophomore season in 2018 (52 catches for 636 yards), he didn't produce as he had hoped last ye ar. The 5-foot-8, 185-pound Nixon, who is the Buffs' lone senior receiver this year, had just 35 catches for 465 yards in 2019. Only 170 of those yards came in the last eight games. - Daily Camera
