Developing Tennessee Tech DL with disruptive upside
Hickman is a long, physical defensive lineman at **6'4", 240** who profiles as a high-motor interior/edge disruptor rather than a polished stat-sheet producer yet; scouting notes from his prep career highlighted **burst off the line**, **multiple tackles for loss**, and an ability to create backfield chaos, which lines up with a player who can fit a pressure-first front and keep developing into a dependable rotational piece. Available public college game logs show limited 2025 production data, so the fit question hinges more on his frame, explosiveness, and development trajectory than on established college counting stats.[1][8][5]
