Nehemiah Hixon is one of Alabama State’s most dangerous field-flippers
In the 2025 season, Nehemiah Hixon emerged as a legit spark plug for Alabama State, earning 2nd-team All-SWAC return honors and ranking among the league’s top kick returners with 488 kick return yards, highlighted by a 99-yard touchdown against Texas Southern; he also finished with 501 total kick return yards, 30.5 yards per return, and a preseason All-American nod for 2026. He’s a compact, explosive playmaker at 5-foot-8 who brings instant momentum swings, special-teams juice, and enough offensive utility to keep defenses honest — a strong fit if your team values speed, toughness, and game-breaking return ability.
