Ball-hawking UTEP DB with proven playmaking and tackle production
Travaun Nixon stood out for UTEP in 2010 by leading the Miners with 4 interceptions and finishing with 75 tackles, a strong combination of coverage instincts and run support from the secondary. That production suggests a defender who can read quarterbacks, attack the ball, and still bring reliable physicality near the line of scrimmage. For a team looking for a DB with turnover upside and dependable tackling, Nixon’s stat profile points to a legitimate impact player rather than just a depth-piece defensive back.
