Just saw that ESPN named its first team AA squad this morning. Happy to see Daviyon Nixon makes it, surprised not to see Linderbaum selected ( shocker-Alabama center picked instead.) Also Breece Hall of Iowa St makes it at running back.
DT: Daviyon Nixon, Iowa
Not only was Nixon one of the best interior defenders in college football this season, he was also one of the biggest breakout stars. A year ago, he was a part-time player for the Hawkeyes. In 2020, he put it all together to earn Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors. The 6-3, 305-pound junior led the Big Ten with 13.5 tackles for loss, including 5.5 sacks, and produced one of the plays of the year with his 71-yard interception return for a touchdown against Penn State.
Congrats to Daviyon, go get some of that NFL first round money!
