Kyle Hicks brings rare snap accuracy and tackling production to Tennessee State
In the 2025 season, Tennessee State long snapper Kyle Hicks stood out as one of the best at his craft, earning a 90.3 Pro Football Focus grade that was the highest among FCS long snappers and second among all Division I specialists; he also played all 12 games and added nine tackles, showing real run-down toughness for a position that usually lives in the shadows. Hicks is a strong fit for teams that value consistency, athletic coverage ability, and a specialist who can help on special teams beyond just clean snaps.
