rugged, productive Cougs back with proven all-purpose value
In the 2016 season, Gerard Wicks was one of Washington State’s most efficient multipurpose threats, rushing for 475 yards on 88 carries (5.4 per carry) with 11 rushing touchdowns and adding 29 catches for 184 yards and a receiving score[7]. He finished his Cougars career with 1,475 rushing yards, 19 rushing touchdowns, and 97 receptions, which says a lot about his reliability, toughness, and fit in Mike Leach’s Air Raid as a back who could run between the tackles, catch it cleanly, and contribute on special teams[3][11][13].
