[OrangeXtreme]

Just announced. Nixon out the rest of the year. Lisfranc

I didn't know he was French.

Can Nixon redshirt?

 

[GoSU96]

That’s not great.

People wanted more Willis, they are going to get more Willis. Wonder who #3 will be.

Already redshirted in 2021.

Was 2 to play 2 when he transferred here. Has 2025 left.

Hart.

 

[two3zone]

He's already eligible to play in 25.

You think he wants to spend 7 years in college?

Dr. Nixon?

SU coach Fran Brown said Nixon suffered a Lisfranc injury — the same injury that benched tight end Oronde Gadsden II last season — and will not return until spring ball at the earliest.

“He had surgery already, so he’s already back wanting to move and things of that nature," Brown said. “We’ll see him next spring, but right now it’s Yasin Willis and LeQuint Allen."

Cam McCormick would probably say "Sure, why not?"

So Nixon in 3 games had 4 receptions for 44 yards, 19 rushes 80 yards no TDs. Certainly a capable #2. Certainly thin's out our depth. I still prefer Willis at #2. While Nixon is probably a better receiver, we are super strong receiving this year. I think Willis gives us a much better run game (20 carries for 113 yards)and he is plenty stout for blitz pickup. So to me Willis run game/blocking trumps receiving loss at RB. That said I hope the young man heals quickly and is back in the spring.

Yasin Willis time, baby.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

You know he gets paid to play college football, it's his job.
He also gets to pursue a Master's degree to earn more money for free and then is big man on campus with women throwing themselves at him. Most college football players not good enough for the NFL would play until their 30 or their body gives out if they could.

I don’t think many undergrads are going for the doctoral candidate.

He can apply for a medical redshirt but as mentioned, not likely he will want to spend 7 years in college

Bummer. Cody Catalina. Ashton Boyd. Kadin Bailey and now Will Nixon. You don’t want me as President of Your Fan Club. Madden Curse level.

Hope Will gets better.

How are we deciding Willis is a better blocker? From what I have seen Nixon was better, but I may have missed some plays.

Yeah Willis is struggling there as to be expected for a freshman. I am looking forward to him getting more snaps now though.

 

[IthacaMatt]

That's terrible. He's a talented kid.
Well, I guess that means we keep our OC for at least another year!

Sorry about the broken link, this is a screenshot of the same Instagram post alleging that Will Nixon is out for the season

Low blow. The guy just got hurt and you're calling him 'she'.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Nixon is a tough and fast RB. If he rebounds like OG did then he could be RB1 next year
