veteran UC Davis slot threat with rising production and playoff-clutch upside
In the 2025 season, Scott Nixon made appearances in all 13 games for UC Davis, finishing with 6 receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown, while also scoring his first career TD in the FCS playoff quarterfinal against Rhode Island[2][11]. The bigger story is his track record: after transferring from Sacramento City College, he posted 1,046 receiving yards and 6 TDs over two seasons there, including a breakout 2024 with 64 catches for 708 yards[2][9]. At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, he brings reliable size, experience, and a proven ability to climb when the stage gets bigger[2][14].
