One SEC school’s loss is a directional Michigan school’s gain.
Keith Mixon signaled his intent to pursue a move on from Mississippi State in early January by placing his name in the NCAA transfer portal. As of Tuesday, according to his new football program’s official website, the wide receiver is now listed on Western Michigan’s online roster and was in uniform when the Broncos kicked off the full-contact portion of summer camp.
As Mixon heads to the Broncos as a graduate transfer, he’ll be eligible to play immediately for the MAC school in 2019.
A starter for the first half of the 2017 season, Mixon was hampered in the last half because of a foot injury. He underwent surgery in the offseason to repair the damage, which caused him to fall behind in spring practice and on into summer camp.
After catching 19 passes for 228 yards and a pair of touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2016, then going 18-275-1 in 2017, Mixon caught 10 passes for 137 yards and two scores this past season.
