Nebraska Football: William Nixon an important depth piece for future

Nebraska Football was on the receiving end of a commitment from 2020 three-star wide receiver William Nixon. He made the announcement via his Twitter earlier Monday afternoon.

Nixon is the 121st overall player in his class, and the 91st overall receiver per the 247Sports Composite Rankings. However, in a case like this, rankings can be a bit misleading. He is another big get for offensive coordinator Troy Walters, who has been a tremendous asset on the trail.

Currently, Nebraska has nine receivers on the roster. The only senior is Jaron Woodyard while JD Spielman and Mike Williams make up an impressive junior class.
