Sean Hickey brings freshman-frame upside to UNH’s defensive front
Sean Hickey is a 6-foot-4, 255-pound redshirt freshman defensive tackle for New Hampshire in 2026, with the kind of size/length profile that gives coaches something to mold on the interior. He logged limited varsity production in 2025, so the appeal is less about raw stat stuffing and more about developmental upside: physical tools, room to add strength, and positional flexibility on a young Wildcats defense. If you want a plug-and-play star today, he’s not that yet; if you want a high-upside trench project with legit frame value, Hickey is absolutely worth watching.
