veteran UC Davis bruiser with a fullback’s edge
In the 2015–2018 seasons, Ethan Hicks was a physical, downhill UC Davis back/lead blocker, listed at 5'11" and 215–230 pounds, and his career stat line shows he was used more as a role player than a volume runner, with no major rushing production recorded in the available roster stats. He stands out for size, toughness, and versatility in the backfield—more hammer than highlight reel—which can make him a useful fit for a team that values pass protection, short-yardage reliability, and special-teams grit.
