Scout’s Take: Hicks is an intriguing prospect because it is hard to know just where he will play in college. I have seen him in camps and on film and defensive end, defensive tackle, and even middle linebacker come to mind when watching him. He plays with such energy and that is something that stands out to me a lot. He also is a very powerful football player and he knows how to use his strength on the football field. There is no doubt that he is a Division I recruit that can do many things, but the biggest question is, where will he play? I lean more towards defensive end right now.
Recruiting: Tennessee offered Hicks immediately after seeing him at their camp and then Miami came through with an offer earlier this fall. He is hearing a lot from schools like Florida and Georgia among many others. Florida and Georgia have always been high on his list, but those that have offered him are up there too
