Jamal Hicks is still one of Colorado State’s most reliable tone-setters at safety
In his Colorado State career, Jamal Hicks built his reputation on production and durability, highlighted by a first-team All-Mountain West nod in 2019 after leading the Rams’ defense with 117 tackles and becoming the first CSU secondary player in decades to top 100 tackles. He’s the kind of safety coaches trust because he shows up around the ball, handles heavy tackle volume, and brings steady veteran presence rather than flashy volatility. If your team wants a physical, high-IQ back-end defender with proven college production, Hicks is absolutely worth care—and he fits best as an instinctive, assignment-sound playmaker.
