Jeremiah Hixon brings veteran slot speed and big-play feel to New Mexico's passing game
Hixon is a sixth-year slot receiver with proven production, posting 39 catches for 482 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2023 for New Mexico after a strong career at Alabama State, and his 12.4 career yards per catch shows he’s more than a possession target[1][5]. At 5-11, 172, with a 4.49 forty, he profiles as a quick separator who can work the middle, create after the catch, and punish soft coverage; the main caveat is size, so he fits best in an offense that values timing, motion, and manufactured touches rather than pure jump-ball work[1][6][9].
