New Commit

I’ll watch some film in a bit, but with that size, he’s probably plugging in at NT (0 / 1 tech).
Sounds like a project when you read what his own school wrote about him. From his bio on SC’s website…

Redshirt freshman who needs to take the next step mentally and physically to work his way into the rotation

Not exactly a resounding endorsement from the place that’s supposed to make them sound better than they are.

Fair point.

Developmental guys like Hixon get lost in the shuffle at SEC schools. Since MT is a "developmental football program" (per CDM), guys like Nixon have a better chance to play / start.

And, after watching some HS film on Hixon, he has the traits to play. He's big & strong. Moved guys. Sometimes he moved guys too much lol.

Can he continue to develop? CDM / MT hopes so.

I think the football team is going to have the look of an FBS team, which will be a little reassuring to those of us who were tired of seeing our FCS-light guys pushed around all over the field by our conference peers under Stockstill.

Still remember the cautionary warning by Boots about players looking like Tarzan, but playing like Jane. Could a coach get away with saying that these days?

If he was a complete developed SEC player, he probably wouldn’t be available to us.

You can still win a lot of CUSA games with players who aren’t good enough for the SEC.

Can you imagine Boots saying, looks like they/them, but plays like Ze/Zir?
