seasoned 6-8 forward who brought efficiency, academics, and quiet reliability to UNCW
In the 2015-16 season, Kevin Hickson was a low-usage but highly efficient frontcourt piece for UNCW, finishing his Seahawk career with a 55.6% field-goal rate and a reputation as a steady, team-first forward rather than a volume scorer. At 6-8, he gave UNC Wilmington size, maturity, and versatility, and he also stood out off the floor as a walk-on who earned academic recognition. If a roster needs toughness, professionalism, and a player who won’t hijack possessions, Hickson is the kind of glue guy coaches love.
