After two of its top receivers left for the NFL, USC didn’t even need to leave its Pac-12 division to find further reinforcements.
Former Colorado wideout K.D. Nixon has announced his intent to stay in the Pac-12 South and transfer to USC for his final season of eligibility. He spent the previous four seasons as a fixture with the Buffaloes.
Nixon’s role in Colorado’s offense diminished last season, as he caught just 15 passes for 132 yards. But the previous two seasons, the 5-foot-8 wideout combined for 87 catches, 1,101 yards and seven touchdowns while playing alongside future Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Laviska Shenault.
