Linebacker Larry Nixon III ranks No. 11 in our top 25.

Larry Nixon's Bio

North Texas Mean Green linebacker Larry Nixon III (3) tackles Memphis Tigers running back Asa Martin (28) during a Memphis Tigers game against the North Texas Mean Green on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022, at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium in Memphis. Memphis defeated North Texas 44-34.

The value in Nixon is his experience and statistical production.

Of which, he has a lot.

Nixon appeared in 45 games for the North Texas Mean Green in four seasons, recording 246 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks.

He is a production MACHINE and will be a great add to the linebacking core this fall.

Players like Austin Keys and Cam Riley will also feature at linebacker but may not be more productive than Nixon.
