He has been active on defense and impressive on special teams. Now, with Donald Butler on injured-reserve, there is a chance for Nixon to sneak onto the back end of the roster. He explains how he got to this point in this exclusive interview. http://sdg.scout.com/2/990722.html 2047 LaShana Marshburn http://sdg.scout.com/2/990722.html Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:02:00 GMT 1 102 San Diego sdg The Chargers have a history of letting UDFAs play their way onto the field. Stephen Cooper, who led the team in tackles last season, joined the team as an UDFA in 2003. Now, rookie Mike Nixon aims to follow in Cooper’s footsteps.

California leads the Pac-10 in both scoring at 35.1 points per game, and rushing at 216 yards per game, giving the Sun Devil defense its toughest test of the year so far. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/913688.html 2047 Jon Kingston http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/913688.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:23:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Sun Devil stadium was full of emotion as the matchup between Arizona State and Washington came to a close. Mike Nixon and the defensive group held the Huskies to three and out series at the end of the fourth quarter to give Danny Sullivan the opportunity to throw a 50-yard game winning TD pass to Chris McGaha which notched the 24-17 win for the Sun Devils. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/910333.html 2047 Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/910333.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 08:49:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Your ASU questions are answered here!

Most recently defeated by Oregon State, the Sun Devils can only look inward for the source of the multitude of errors on both sides of the ball. The typically strong defense had a solid first three games of the season yet found themselves taking a huge step backwards this weekend against the Beavers according to LB Mike Nixon. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/906732.html 2047 Maggie Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/906732.html Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:16:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate After handling Idaho State 50-3, and Louisiana Monroe 38-14, the Sun Devils now turn their sights to a 2-1 Georgia team that will look to repeat its 2008 performance against ASU where they prevailed over the maroon and gold 27-10. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/901960.html 2047 Jon Kingston http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/901960.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 03:17:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Linebacker Mike Nixon discusses the defense's performance in the second fall scrimmage on Saturday morning. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/890908.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/890908.html Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:25:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Devils Digest sat down at the Pac-10’s football media day with senior linebacker Mike Nixon to reflect on his ASU career thus far and talk about the 2009 campaign. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/883438.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/883438.html Fri, 31 Jul 2009 06:09:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate In 2008 Mike Nixon led the Sun Devils in tackles with 90 stops, which was equivalent to the total numbers of tackles he had in his previous two years. Up until his junior year the LB never recorded an interception and last year he collected a quintet of them. It may be hard for Nixon to follow up his own act this season, but as a senior he certainly wants to leave a strong lasting impression. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/852182.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/852182.html Tue, 31 Mar 2009 06:03:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Cynical fans will claim that a smart college football player is usually not a very talented one, and vice versa. This season Mike Nixon has dispelled that theory in a major way. Already the leading tackler for the Sun Devils, the junior linebacker was named first team Pacific-10 All-Academic football team and posted the highest GPA of any first team selection. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/817726.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/817726.html Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:35:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate It was almost a magical feeling at Sun Devil Stadium and certainly one that Arizona State’s defense won’t forget anytime soon. The four defensive touchdowns scored by the Sun Devil defense tied the record set by Houston in 1987, for the most ever in NCAA history. Junior linebacker Mike Nixon said he never expected to be part of history. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/816555.html 2047 Andrew Gruman http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/816555.html Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:58:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Junior linebacker Mike Nixon intercepted yet another, pass on Saturday, his fourth of the season, and helped the Arizona State Sun Devils shutout the Washington State Cougars, 31-0. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/812237.html 2047 Darren Schwandt http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/812237.html Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:27:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Linebacker Mike Nixon was naturally dejected following ASU’s 54-20 home defeat to Oregon was looking for answers for his team’s lackluster play. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/804990.html 2047 Darren Schwandt http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/804990.html Sun, 26 Oct 2008 07:23:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Whether it be the personal circumstances that have sidelined Gerald Munns for the year or just the overall struggles on defense, the ASU linebacker corps is undoubtedly going through a rough patch these days. This is when the unit will look at 24-year old Mike Nixon and seek advice and guidance from the wily veteran, as the Sun Devils prepare for their first road test of 2008. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/797174.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/797174.html Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:40:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate It was certainly a tale of two halves for the Arizona State defense on Saturday night against Northern Arizona. In the first stanza, it seemed nothing could go wrong for the Sun Devils, but the Lumberjacks had the ASU defense back on their heels in the second half, moving the ball at ease. This fact disappointed LB Mike Nixon who led the ASU defense with eight tackles in the season opener. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/785111.html 2047 Andrew Gruman http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/785111.html Sun, 31 Aug 2008 08:23:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate Mike Nixon wasn’t able to enjoy his career day. His 12 tackles took place in the Oregon loss, and jubilation was far from his mind. This weekend the Sun Devils play the team he originally committed to, UCLA, at a football stadium located in the vicinity of the baseball ballpark he dreamed of playing in – Dodgers Stadium. But for Nixon there are no regrets over the past, just focus on the present. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/698972.html 2047 DevilsDigest.com http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/698972.html Wed, 07 Nov 2007 07:22:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate The Sun Devils are 7-0, and a large part of their success has been due to the steadfast and at times explosive defense. This unit has had at least one interception in their last nine games, and an interception returned for a touchdown in each of their last three contests. Linebacker Mike Nixon was an important element in Saturday night’s victory over Washington. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/690491.html 2047 Meghan Walsh http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/690491.html Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:15:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate He may only be a sophomore, but at 23 years old he’s anything but your typical second- year player. When referring to Mike Nixon, his teammates have ditched the grandpa jokes for his newest nickname, Uncle Mike. The elder statesman of the Sun Devils is considered one of the team’s leaders as he assists his fellow linebackers these days in spring practice. http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/633170.html 2047 Shannon Koehle http://arizonastate.scout.com/2/633170.html Fri, 06 Apr 2007 06:05:00 GMT 1 43 Arizona State arizonastate
