Quarterback Bo Nix walks away from Auburn football, announces plans to transfer as graduate

Auburn quarterback Bo Nix, who started the past three seasons for the Tigers, announced on social media Sunday that he plans to leave as a graduate transfer.

Nix, the former SEC Freshman of the Year in 2019, announced his decision in a video message posted on Instagram.

Nix missed the last two games of the regular season, including the Tigers' dramatic loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl, after having surgery to repair a broken ankle.

The son of former Auburn quarterback Pat Nix, Bo signed with the Tigers under former coach Gus Malzahn, who is now at Central Florida.
