It’s a familiar place for the Nix family. It wasn’t so long ago that Bo Nix was on this field as a player, winning back-to-back 6A state titles and totaling more than 12,000 yards and 161 touchdowns as an Indian, before being named Alabama’s Mr. Football after the completion of his senior season, in 2018. Named the Tiger’s starting quarterback as a freshman, Nix led Auburn to a 9-4 season in his first year under center, including a victory in the Iron Bowl. Nix’s sophomore season was rockier, and the Tigers ended the season 6-5.
