Mark Ricks brings freshman-size upside to Delaware State’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Delaware State freshman DB Mark Ricks is a 6-foot-1 defensive back from Los Angeles who already fits the profile of a long, modern coverage piece for the Hornets.[1][2][7] Public stat feeds show no meaningful game log yet, so the real draw is projection: size, youth, and upside in a position group where length and discipline matter; at this stage, he looks more like a developmental bet than a finished product.[1][8][14]
