BIRMINGHAM – Bo Nix has been in the news a lot lately, but took the time to catch some high school football, specifically his family.
The Auburn quarterback went to the AHSAA Super 7 Class 7A state championship Wednesday night to watch Central-Phenix City, where his dad Patrick Nix coaches and brother Caleb Nix is the starting quarterback.
He has his right foot resting on a scooter to keep weight off of it. He had season-ending surgery on a broken ankle last month.

Auburn finished the regular season 6-6 and 3-5 in the SEC. He missed the Iron Bowl against Alabama because of the injury and was pulled for backup TJ Finley early in the season in one game.
Nix played high school football at Pinson Valley High, where his father won two state championships before leaving for Central.
