Bo Nix is an American professional football quarterback currently playing for the Denver Broncos in the NFL. He was born in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, and grew up primarily in Alabama, where he played high school football at Pinson Valley High School, winning multiple state titles under his father’s coaching[5]. He began his college career at Auburn University, where he set multiple school records and was recognized on several award watch lists. At Auburn, he completed 58.7% of his passes for nearly 5,000 yards and 28 touchdowns during his tenure[4]. In 2022, Nix transferred to the University of Oregon, utilizing NCAA eligibility extensions related to COVID-19. At Oregon, he significantly elevated his performance, setting school single-season records for completions (364), passing yards (4,508), and passing touchdowns (45) in 2023. He also set the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage at 77.45% in 2023, breaking the previous record held by Mac Jones. Over his two seasons at Oregon, he led the Ducks to a 10–3 record in 2022, including a Holiday Bowl victory, and a strong 2023 campaign that saw Oregon contend for the College Football Playoff. Nix finished his college career ranked among the NCAA leaders in total yards, touchdowns, completions, and passing yards, starting 61 games—the most in NCAA history for a quarterback[1][2]. Bo Nix was selected as the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos. He quickly became the Broncos' starting quarterback, the first rookie to do so since 1983. In his rookie NFL season, he made history as the first rookie quarterback to complete over 80% of his passes while throwing for at least four touchdowns and 300 yards in a game. He earned NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month honors and showed rapid development with multiple Rookie of the Week awards[3][6][7].
