Julian Nixon
(WR) Roswell, GA (Centennial HS)
6’4, 225
Commit: 4/28/20
4-star on 247 Composite/ESPN, 3-star on Rivals
Josh Ward’s Analysis: Nixon is a big receiver who brings a physical presence to the position. Let’s see if he adds weight at Tennessee. Could he play tight end in the future?
Eric Cain’s Analysis: Julian Nixon is a bigger guy who should excel at lining up outside against smaller cornerbacks. He displays good length and ball skills when high-pointing the football. Nixon is a bit of a work in progress, but eyes opportunity still with a mostly young group of unproven receivers.
