steady, veteran Mizzou linebacker with captain-grade consistency
In the 2024 season, Chuck Hicks emerged as a trusted middle linebacker for Missouri, earning team-captain status and finishing with 53 tackles, ranking fourth on the team.[3][4] His calling cards are reliability, instincts, and leadership: he had recorded a tackle in every game since the start of 2023 and was praised for filling in the middle with poise after injuries reshuffled the depth chart.[3] He’s a strong fit for a team that wants a grown-man linebacker who brings toughness, steadiness, and football IQ over flash.[3][14]
