Marcus Hicks brings rare size and upside to SDSU’s offensive line
Marcus Hicks is a 6-foot-6, 320-pound offensive lineman for South Dakota State who arrived from Oklahoma after being a highly regarded recruit, and that profile still screams NFL-caliber upside. In the 2024 preseason, local coverage noted he had resumed practicing after a spring injury, while draft-watch commentary highlighted his plus size and athletic traits, including a standout 35.5-inch vertical at SDSU’s Pro Day. The big swing here: he offers power, length, and developmental upside—if he stays healthy and settles into the system, he could be a nasty fit for a team that loves physical trench play.
