Bo Nix’s biggest cheerleader is his wife, Izzy Nix.

The star quarterback played at Auburn University for three seasons before transferring to the University of Oregon for the 2022 season. He was named the Pac-12 offensive player of the year in 2023 and was a Heisman Trophy candidate — his 61 starting games are the most among any quarterback in NCAA history.

Bo and Izzy met at Auburn, where she was a Tigers cheerleader. Izzy graduated from the university in May 2022 and the pair wed two months later in Alabama. Shortly after tying the knot, the couple moved to Eugene, Ore., where Bo spent two seasons with the Oregon Ducks.

“The day I met Bo, he told me about this God-sized dream of his. I will never stop praising the Lord for His faithfulness or have enough words to express how proud I am of you, Bo,” Izzy wrote onInstagramfollowing Bo’s big accomplishment. “Overjoyed and honored to join Broncos country!!!”

Izzy was born on Oct. 18, 1998. She and her three siblings, sisters Millie and Abbie and brother Luke, were raised in Birmingham, Ala. Growing up, Izzy spent 14 years as a gymnast, moving on from the sport just shy of her 17th birthday.

“Approximately 3,320x I have put on a leotard and looking back, I do not regret one bit of it. Gymnastics is a tough sport… It came with a heck of a lot of sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, goals, lessons, challenges, fears, respect, teamwork and dedication,” she wrote onInstagramin October 2015.

Two years later, she graduated from the Evangel Christian School in Alabaster, Ala., where she also played basketball. Once she moved on to college, she spent some of her summers working as a counselor atKanakuk Kampsin Branson, Mo.

She met Bo in college

Bo started his college career at Auburn University, where his father, Patrick Nix, also played as a quarterback. That’s where he met Izzy, an Auburn Tigers cheerleader, in June 2020.

“This guy is a true blessing lemme tell ya!!!! one year of knowing him and everyday gets sweeter 🤍,” she wrote onInstagramin June 2021.

Izzy graduated in May 2022. “i’ll never once take this for granted - standing next to these girls on gameday has quickly become my favorite thing,” she captioned a 2020Instagramphoto with three of her fellow cheerleaders.

Bo transferred to the University of Oregon ahead of the 2022-23 school year, and Izzy joined her soon-to-be-husband in his new college town of Eugene after graduating from Auburn.

“Trading in my orange & blue for green & yellow 💚💛🤭 next stop: OREGON!” she wrote onInstagramalongside a carousel of graduation photos.

They got engaged at Auburn’s football stadium

After just over one year of dating, the pair got engaged on July 30, 2021, with Bo getting down on one knee at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn.

“I knew from the first moment I laid eyes on you that you were special,” he wrote onInstagramafter sharing their happy news. “I cannot wait to be your husband. Here’s to forever with you, Izzy Smoke!”

Izzy shared a similar sentiment onInstagram, writing, “Bo Chapman Nix, it is my greatest honor and joy that you have chosen me to be your WIFE.”

She married Bo in Alabama

Bo and Izzy enjoyed a summer wedding in their home state.

Their nuptials were held at the Ridge Point Events Venue in Alpine, Ala., on July 2, 2022. Plenty of friends and family were in attendance, and the celebrations included unique elements like a bouncy house andsurprise fireworks.

She said it was a “tough transition” moving to Oregon

Izzy may be the first to admit she didn’t expect to move to Oregon, but she had no qualms about starting over on the West Coast.

“It was definitely a tough transition coming out here, but I knew when we got engaged that we could live anywhere, be anywhere he could transfer, and so it’s been great,” she toldPac-12 Networksin September 2023.

Bo moved first, as Izzy still had a semester to finish up at Auburn before she could join him across the country.

They celebrate milestones at the beach

After their wedding, the Nixes jetted off to Mexico for their honeymoon. “Married the man of my dreams!!!!!!! & celebrated alll week long in CABO 😇🤪🐢💛,” Izzy wrote onInstagramin July 2022.

The beach is a favorite vacation spot for the pair. Izzy held herbachelorette partyin Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., in June 2022, and almost exactly one year later, Bo and Izzy took an “early”anniversary tripto Maui. Their tropical adventure included paragliding and plenty of beach time.
