summary he was not forced to play juco, ducks was ready to sign him. a test score was an issue. nevada cut off the ducks, saying he didnt need the test score they signed him. then after he signed "owe we need the score now sorry youll have to grey shirt this season" who wants to sit and watch? so play juco local with older brother, report to nevada january 08 ready for next season. juco coach "hey you dont belong in juco conciously i cant hold you" clones grabbed check out his play on avc highlights had i known he would grow to bew such a good blocker id have named him highway hicks

He is listed on the roster on cyclones.com and in the Student directory. Some guys on cylonereport.com seemed exicited about him but this was the first i have heard of him. Anybody have some info on him?
"
Hicks is a developing tackle with a big frame. He carries good bulk and moves well for a bigger player. He shows the ability to come off the ball with good footwork. He will take a good angle on his down blocks and can wash the defender to the inside. He pulls well for a big man but he usually gets too high. He gets set quickly in pass protection but will tend to wind up his punch. He has the ability to hold his ground against bull rushers because of his bulk advantage. However, Hicks tends to lack the core and lower body strength to be a top prospect. He does not bend well at the knee and can?t generate much power from his hips. He essentially is a waist bender and will get over extended on run blocks and end up on the ground. He needs to improve his base and he has trouble consistently sustaining blocks. He will get to much weight forward on pass protection and lose his ability to mirror and slide. With better posture combined with his hand carriage and ability to punch he will become a better protector. He must remain dedicated in the weight room to improve his flexibility and agility. Overall, Hicks is young and still developing into his frame. He has some upside because of his size and has potential to add more bulk."
Thanks for the info on Hayworth Hicks, including the links to scouting reports. The info above is from one of the links. I love this kind of technical analysis of football. Especially line play. Sometime I'm going to buy that Steve Loney offensive line instructional book or video that has something like 100 drills for offensive lineman. (btw - I still think the departure of Loney as O-line coach and OC after the 2001 season started the downward spiral for Dan McCarney. he knew what he was doing)

May perpetual light shine upon him.
Not entirely-how many guys drafted by NFL teams run a 5.78? . Footspeed is not only partially a measure of explosion, but of pulling ability (anyone remember the Pro Bowl guard for the Vikings who ran a 4.58? Randall McDaniel?) as well--and this staff would really like to have some guys pulling ahead of the likes of Bo Williams.
no its true. for linemen they look more at a 5-10-5 as it shows quickness instead of speed. rarely does a linemen run 40 yards... so they really dont care about that stat.
Partially from bits I have read about him and partially my own guesses...he was forced to go to a juco out of hs but then was able to get everything in order in a year so his recruitment took a lot of places by surprise, so a combination of a little good fortune and a good job by the staff. I have read he had a good season in juco and is someone that is exciting to add with a big upside (no pun intended).
Hey, noticing your Everton avatar, are you going to the game next week?
