Jiare Hicks brings veteran linebacker pop to Prairie View A&M
Jiare Hicks is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound Prairie View A&M linebacker who entered the program as a JUCO transfer after a high-impact junior-college résumé that included 70 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and four fumble recoveries, plus ball skills as a receiver and special-teams juice. His appeal is the combo platter: length, physicality, backfield disruption, and playmaking instincts that show up in splash plays, not just cleanup tackles. For a defense needing an aggressive tone-setter, Hicks looks like the kind of rangy, hard-hitting fit coaches love.
