The next big thing for the Denver Broncos? What can be a suitable tag for Bo Chapman Nix? The 24-year-old has already been reigning over the season. Mainly in the third down, he is showing enough maturity to turn everyone’s eyes. Example? His record (19, fourth-fewest) as a quarterback has already made him someone difficult to sack. Additionally, his movement with the ball on the field has filled up the rest of the needs. Altogether, for the Broncos, it is a win-win situation to keep him in the fold. The rookie quarterback has been eyeing that since his drafting in April this year. But the road from college football to the Broncos’ pages hasn’t come as a cakewalk for him. 

Rather, Bo Nix’s wife perhaps remembers the days when he was trying hard to make amends with the situation, shifting from Oregon University. In an informal interview, Izzy, Bo’s wife, shared a few unknown things to explain the situation. What were those? 

Bo Nix was taking his time to settle with his tough days 

In 2023, a lot of things happened in Bo Nix’s life. He was on the verge of completing his years at the University of Oregon. He also had to think about his upcoming professional career in the NFL. Furthermore, after tying the knot with him in 2022, Izzy was about to step into Oregon, leaving her alma mater, the University of Auburn, behind. But Bo tried to settle everything up. He reached Oregon beforehand, after finishing his stint at Auburn University in 2022. He tried to own the place in his capacity and make the place his ‘new home.’ Living in Auburn, Izzy found this transition hard to learn at first. But after reaching Oregon, she felt the weight. Even in a conversation with Pac-12 Networks in 2023, Izzy seemed to feel pain for her husband, thinking about his suffering in Oregon in his initial days. 

In the conversation, the former cheerleader said, “He [Bo Nix] came out here by himself, knew nobody, didn’t have me, didn’t have his parents down the street, nothing.” Yet, her husband stood firm in the face of adversity and claimed what was his in the field. That fact gave Izzy subtle satisfaction. While interacting with Pac-12 Networks, she revealed, “He would tell me all the time, like, I’ve realized that I can live on my own, and, like, I kind of feel like I’ve grown up, and I think that was great leading into our marriage, just him coming out here growing. I feel like he’s always been mature and so wise and disciplined and one of the most driven people I know.” As per her, the adverse situation was responsible for growing the leadership role in Bo Nix. How? 

According to the former Auburn gymnast, the process contributed to Bo’s growth. “I would say you’ve probably grown even more and stepped into that leadership role coming out to Oregon, being the senior and the fifth year,” she claimed. But what about her? She also had to shift to Oregon. Had that experience been easy for her? Izzy Nix admitted the issue, stating, “It was definitely a tough transition coming out here.” Yet, she didn’t break down. Rather, her posture narrated a firm belief. She explained it: “I knew when we got engaged that we could live anywhere, be anywhere he could transfer, and so I’ve been, and it’s been great. I was ready for it.” Surely, the words explained many things. But did it mention Izzy’s excitement to live with her husband? 

The former gymnast had been elated while changing her address 

Both Bo Nix and Izzy Smoke met each other at the University of Oregon. In those days of 2020, her focus had been revolving around gymnastics. Bo, on the other hand, was following his father’s lead, who once played as quarterback. Yet the duo collided with each other and crafted a sweet bond. Even in 2021, Izzy claimed him to be a “true blessing.” And what did Bo do in response?

Well, in July 2021, he took his love interest to Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. There, on the iconic football ground, he bent on one knee to propose to the member of the Auburn Tigers. After that, they took another year to cherish their unique engagement. In 2023, the duo performed their nuptials at the Ridge Point Events Venue. Again, there was a unique vibe in choosing the location. But everything could have fallen apart in 2023 when the couple faced the test in Oregon.

They had the option to give up on everything. Instead, they hardened their jaws while accepting things and fought back with rough days. Nonetheless, the momentum had remained the same. Here is a fun fact: before moving to Eugene, Oregon, Izzy Nix shared a post on her Instagram. It read, “Trading in my orange & blue for green & yellow 💚💛🤭 next stop: OREGON!” They kept the vibe similar to the carousel.
