BYU is not going anywhere with players like Nixon, who don't have the tools to be a good defender.
At this point I don't think Nixon is really being counted on to fit into the long term plans very much. Like you said, he seems to have some good instincts on offense and he's supposed to have a pretty good shot, but without being useful on defense, I don't see him contributing much this year.
