Just over two weeks ago in the beginning days of April, it was reported that rising and promising Louisville football freshman defensive standout, Robert Hicks had put his name in the NCAA Transfer portal. It was a heavy blow that neither this UofL football program could afford, nor the fans of Cardnation wanted to hear.
Hicks, a coveted former four star LB prospect, led his Miami Central HS team to a state title and was recruited by co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Cort Dennison. While the 2018 Cardinal football season was one to forget, Hicks was one of the lone bright spots to many fans.
