Auburn football: 5 Bo Nix transfer portal landing spots

Auburn football QB Bo Nix transfer option #4: Ole Miss

Lane Kiffin has successfully turned the Ole Miss program around and transformed it into one of the top teams in the entire SEC. In just two years, no less.

Fresh off their first 10-win season in school history, the Rebels will need to figure out how to replace the potentially NFL-bound senior Matt Corral, who put his name into the running for the Heisman trophy with 3,334 passing yards, 597 rushing yards, 11 rushing touchdowns, 20 passing touchdowns and just four interceptions.

Bo Nix would be in a good spot under Lane Kiffin’s tutelage. If the NFL is his ultimate goal, Kiffin’s high-octane offense could be the best way to pump up his stats to get there.

Auburn football QB Bo Nix transfer option #5: Cincinnati

With Desmond Ridder likely NFL-bound himself, Cincinnati could be due for a drop-off in the coming years with no immediate star replacement waiting in the wings.

Of course, their undefeated 2021 season heading into the AAC Championship against Houston is a major pull for any prospective transfer targets/recruits, and if Luke Fickell can resist jumping ship to a current Power Five program, the Bearcats figure to be one of the best landing spots for a QB looking to dominate a Group of Five conference en route to the pros.

Nix would escape all of the scrutiny of the SEC and join a program that would simply be happy to have him…unlike much of his current fanbase on the Plains.
