Nix led Auburn to a 9–4 record in his freshman season, winning the Iron Bowl, 48–45 over Alabama.[6] He was voted the SEC's 2019 Freshman of the Year,[7] finishing the campaign with 16 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. He threw for 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions as a sophomore in 2020.

2021 was an up and down season for Nix, with highlights being leading Auburn to their first win at LSU since 1999 and a win over #10 Ole Miss, while also struggling in certain games and being benched for T. J. Finley in the fourth quarter of a game against Georgia State. Nix suffered a season-ending injury against Mississippi State. He threw for 11 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions in 2021.
