Recruitment Landscape
Eighteen colleges expressed interest in Hicks, ranging from ACC powerhouses to mid‑major programs, illustrating the breadth of his appeal.
The Huskies had earmarked June 5 for an official visit, a weekend trip that would have given Hicks a full immersion into campus life before his decision.
Before arriving at St. James Performance Academy, Hicks honed his skills at Rock Creek Christian Academy, where his versatility and hard‑hitting play style began to attract national attention.
Coached by Mickey Jacobs, the Huskies’ linebackers coach, Hicks now joins a growing defensive cohort that the staff hopes will anchor future successes.
