After spending just over a year in College Station, Tyrone Nix is reportedly leaving the Texas A&M program.
According to ESPN college football writer Adam Rittenberg, Nix is leaving the Aggies for a full-time role with Virginia Tech. Bruce Feldman of The Athletic is also reporting the news. During his time with the Aggies, Nix served as a senior defensive analyst. Prior to landing in College Station, Nix moved as a defensive coordinator at Ole Miss and South Carolina.
Nix was hired by Texas A&M by the previous coaching staff last spring.
Here’s the report from Rittenberg:
