Clemson is always keeping tabs on the nation’s best prospects.
Among them is Allen (Tx.) five-star defensive linemen David Hicks.
Hicks (6-4, 255) is the No. 5 defensive linemen and No. 18 overall prospect in the 2023 class, per the 247sports Composite rankings.
He recently caught up with The Clemson Insider regarding his time at Clemson this summer and his current recruitment.
Hicks’s main point of contact at Clemson is Tigers’ defensive tackles coach Todd Bates. He characterized his relationship with Bates as “pretty good,” but they’ll obviously continue to strengthen their current connection.
He made it up to Clemson for Dabo Swinney Camp and an unofficial visit earlier this summer.
