The Troy football team is well into fall camp, and as it prepares for the much-anticipated 2017 season, fans can expect some new faces to make some noise this year.

Head Coach Neal Brown is entering his third year at the helm and has a notably talented group of newcomers to work with. Among those newcomers are brothers Kevin and Kyle Nixon of Fort Valley, Georgia. Kevin Nixon arrives in Troy as an outside linebacker, while Kyle Nixon plays safety.

In his senior year of high school, Kevin Nixon registered 65 tackles, with nine coming in the backfield.
