The Redskins signed Appalachian State inside linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough, 5-9, 235-pounds, who led the conference with 143 tackles last season. In fact, he was named Southern Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year last season. He is known as a run stopper but he also worked out as a fullback during the NFL combine.
The Skins also signed Florida offensive tackle Xavier Nixon, who is from Fayetteville and played a Jack Britt High School. The 6-6, 320-pounder made the Senior Bowl but he was not a consistent starter for the Gators although he cracked the starting lineup at times throughout his four years. In fact, he started five games at left tackle as a freshman while Tim Tebow was the starting QB.
