Nehemiah Nixon didn’t get the headlines, but he caused plenty of headaches for the opposition.

The Randolph-Macon College senior offensive lineman was a front and center reason why the Yellow Jackets enjoyed their best season ever.

Offensive linemen, often overlooked by the fans and media, are always essential as with the 6-foot-2, 280-pound Nixon out of Garner, N.C.

Nixon was key to the Jackets posting a 13-1 record with 6,727 yards total offense and a whopping 88 touchdowns.

For his effort, Nixon was named to the Associated Press NCAA Division III All-American Second Team, as well as All- ODAC for a second time.

RMC won the ODAC and defeated Christopher Newport (Ithaca, N.Y.), and Johns Hopkins (Maryland) before losing in the semifinals to eventual champion Cortland (N.Y.).
