Kent Hicks brought veteran ball-hawking energy to Liberty’s secondary
In the 2008 season, Kent Hicks was a first-team All-Big South defensive back for Liberty who started all 12 games, led the team with 3 interceptions, and finished with 44 tackles and 10 passes defended. He stood out as a physical, instinctive cover man who could make quarterbacks pay for mistakes, and his production helped drive a defense that ranked No. 13 nationally in scoring defense. If you want a DB with proven playmaking, toughness, and experienced run support, Hicks fit the bill.
