EIU’s veteran playmaker with proven all-purpose value
In the 2011 season, Lorence Ricks was a senior captain at Eastern Illinois who started the first three games at wide receiver before a season-ending injury, but he still led the nation in all-purpose yardage at 177 yards per game when he went down. He finished his EIU career with 69 catches for 1,042 yards and nine touchdowns, plus 1,408 career kick-return yards, so he brings versatility, burst, and game-changing open-field value. If you want a receiver who can tilt field position and create explosive plays, he’s the kind of fast, high-upside veteran coaches love.
