Former Notre Dame guard Jordan Nixon has landed at Texas A&M

The Irish transfer will compete as a sophomore in the 2020-21 season.

“Jordan gives us the scoring mentality and creativity that makes our offense go from both guard positions,” said head coach Gary Blair. “She came in on her official visit and fit in like she had been here for years — she loves the school, her new teammates and the style of basketball that we play.”

Nixon, a 5-8 guard, played 26 games and started three for the eventual 2019 national finalists Notre Dame. She posted averages of 2.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game, playing 14.5 minutes per game. She had a season-high of 12 points against Western Kentucky.
