Rozelle Nix is the first graduate transfer in the University of South Alabama men's basketball program's history. The former Pittsburgh Panther arrived on campus just before the fall semester, and returned close to home after spending two seasons at Pensacola Junior College. The Cincinnati, Ohio native spoke with USAJaguars.com about his battles with losing weight, why he left Pitt and why he chose South Alabama.
When did you start playing basketball?
I got started playing basketball in 5th or 6th grade. I started playing for fun to see how it is. My great-grandfather took me to the neighborhood rec center and we would put up some shots.
