Bo Chapman Nix played his college football for the Oregon Ducks and was the quarterback for the team. He is one of the top prospects to come into the 2024 NFL draft and is projected to get drafted in the very first round. He started his college football career playing for the Auburn Tigers from 2019-2021, spending three seasons before moving to play for the Ducks from 2022-2024. Nix will be a part of the stacked quarterback class.

Nix started his college football career with the Tigers in 2019 and he started hot. Passing for 2542 yards, 16 touchdowns, 313 rushing yards, and 7 rushing touchdowns, Nix wasted no time in putting his mark on the field. In 2020, Nix had 2415 passing yards, 12 touchdown passes, 388 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. In 2021, Nix posted similar numbers with 2294 passing yards, and 11 touchdowns, and played in only 10 games. While his stats were decent, it was not eye-popping.

After his three-year run with the Tigers, Nix moved to Oregon and he put on a show in his final two seasons. Nix, in 2022, had 3593 passing yards, 29 touchdowns, 510 rushing yards, and 14 rushing touchdowns. However, Nix exploded this following season in 2023 as he recorded a staggering 4508 passing yards, 45 touchdowns, and 6 rushing touchdowns.

Nix is a special talent who turned around his college football career after heading to the Ducks. He broke the NCAA pass completion record with 77.4 per cent in 2023 and is also the record holder for the Oregon Ducks in terms of passing yards and touchdowns in a single season.

Some of his accomplishments also include winning the William V. Campbell Trophy in 2023, was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2023, being First-team All-Pac-12 in 2023, and being the SEC Freshman of the Year in 2019. Nix also came very close to winning the Heisman trophy in 2023 and he finished third in voting for the award.
