For a team like the Colorado Buffaloes who aren’t (yet?) perennially occupying the Top 25 in recruiting rankings, having players who can contribute in a multitude of ways is vital to the success of the program. That versatility is a big reason why our #20 most important Buffalo is sophomore wide receiver K.D. Nixon.
Nixon gave his verbal commitment to the Buffaloes just over a year and a half ago, on October 28th of 2016. The Buffs beat out Arizona State, Baylor, Cal, Duke, Utah, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, and Louisville, among many others, for the four-star receiver out of DeSoto, Texas.
