Freshman CB Tyran Hicks brings size, youth, and active tackling to Idaho State’s secondary
Tyran Hicks is a 2026 freshman cornerback for Idaho State at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, and he’s already seeing the field early in the season, recording a tackle in the Bengals’ 2026 opener at Utah State. His appeal is the usual CB sweet spot: quick development potential, compact build, and enough physicality to stick in run support while learning the college game. He looks like a depth piece with upside rather than a finished product — a good fit if a team wants a young, active defender who can grow into bigger coverage responsibilities.
