Trashaun Nixon brings old-school linebacker toughness and coverage versatility to NMSU
Trashaun Nixon’s calling card is a safety-like blend of range and coverage ability packed into linebacker size, plus the kind of physical, open-field play style coaches love in a sub-package defender. In his New Mexico State years, he was noted for covering running backs one-on-one and making plays in space, and his 2012 season at NMSU included a starting role and All-WAC second-team recognition. He’s the kind of fit who helps when you want a linebacker who can stay on the field in multiple looks and chase down mistakes with attitude.
