3. Bo Nix has a bright future

From his very first collegiate competition against Oregon, Bo Nix has been incredibly impressive. He plays with the heart of a lion, which is exactly what’s needed to be successful in college football. Frankly, he plays with the same passion that Tim Tebow played with when he was at Florida.

In his first Iron Bowl, Nix extended plays and made precise throws that are similar to what you would see by Patrick Mahomes on Sundays. He showed that he can be a dual-threat and can extend plays with his mobility. Nix finished with 46 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.

The young freshman has already proven to Guz Malzahn and his teammates that he can lead this team. And, due to NFL Draft restrictions, Nix has at least two more years with the Tigers. Nick Saban will have his hands full preparing for Nix in the future.
