After concluding his storied college football career, Bo Nix will showcase his talents on another big stage hoping to boost his NFL draft stock.
On Wednesday, the Senior Bowl announced that the Oregon quarterback accepted an invitation to play in the game. The annual affair features the top seniors from across college football and is an opportunity to scout talent ahead of the NFL draft. South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler, Texas defensive lineman Byron Murphy II and Georgia wide receiver Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint have also committed to playing in the game.
Nix led the Ducks to a landslide victory in the Fiesta Bowl, beating Liberty 45-6. The Heisman Trophy finalist finished the game throwing for 363 passing yards and five touchdowns. The Oregon faithful gave the super senior a loud ovation when he was taken out of the game with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Nix threw for a career-high 4,508 yards with 45 touchdowns and three interceptions in Oregon's 12-2 season. It was his second year with the Ducks after he spent three years at Auburn.
The Senior Bowl is an annual showcase during which the top seniors in college football compete in a game before the NFL draft. Representatives from all 32 NFL teams are in attendance to scout the talent. This will be the 75th year the game has been played in Mobile, Alabama.
