HA Note: "Nixon said he is 6 feet and 190 pounds. www.JCfootball.com lists his 40-yard dash at 4.42 seconds. Last year, as a safety, Nixon made eight interceptions. In 2009, he had six interceptions in seven games. His average of 0.86 picks per game was fourth best in the California Community College Athletic Association, which fields 71 football teams. Nixon recently was named to the Southern California Football Association's all-star first team."


About selecting UH after his recruiting visit over the weekend, Nixon said:
