When South Carolina defensive back Keisean Nixon got a shout out from rap legend Snoop Dogg around National Signing Day, folks took notice. The same happened when he got some love following a pick-six Saturday against Arkansas.
But this isn’t so unusual for Nixon, not the biggest deal.
“That’s like every week,” Nixon said. “He talks to me every week, he’s famous to y’all. He’s not famous to me.”
Nixon played for the Snoop Youth Football League starting at an early age. His father is close with the Long Beach product, who became a fixture around the mid-2000s Southern Cal teams and actually played some wide receiver in his time.
