Reggie Hicks brings JMU a lean, athletic linebacker with upside after a position switch
Reggie Hicks is a Redshirt Junior linebacker at James Madison in the 2026 season, listed at 6-0, 205, and he stands out as a former running back who moved to defense and reportedly learned quickly in spring practice. That background gives him a rare blend of backfield instincts, athleticism, and physicality, which is exactly what you want in a modern LB who can chase and react fast. He looks like a developmental fit more than a finished product, but the upside is obvious if you value speed, adaptability, and a player with a high learning curve and competitive edge.
