BOULDER—Colorado junior wide receiver K.D. Nixon has announced that he will forego his final season of eligibility and declare for the 2020 NFL Draft.
Nixon was presented with CU's Eddie Crowder Award at Sunday's end of season banquet for outstanding team leadership and finishes his career in the top 25 in CU history in receptions and receiving yards, mostly amassed in his sophomore and junior seasons.
"K.D. Nixon has been a tremendous, productive and versatile Colorado Buffalo," CU coach Mel Tucker said. "He's a solid contributor that we'd love to have back for his final year, but I'm excited about his professional football future.
