Davon Hicks is Georgia Southern’s steady, experienced linebacker anchor
In the 2024 season, Davon Hicks started four games and played 11 total games for Georgia Southern, finishing with 43 tackles, one tackle for loss, and half a sack; his 2024 role and 2025 preseason coverage suggest he’s a trusted presence in the linebacker room rather than a splashy stat monster[5][12][14]. He brings size, experience, and consistency, and his transfer note says he was drawn to Georgia Southern’s family feel and player development, which fits a dependable, high-motor defender who can stabilize a defense and do the dirty work.
