Posted: July 2, 2019 -- 5:51 p.m. CT

Texas A&M women's basketball announced the addition of Jordan Nixon, a member of the USA Basketball U19 team and transfer from Notre Dame, Tuesday. Nixon will be eligible to 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 Aggies' 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."

"She knows what winning is all about, from high school, her summer program, Notre Dame, USA Basketball and now Texas A&M," added Blair. "After sitting out a season, she will be ready to make an impact during the 2020-21 season."
