David Hicks Sr. has been coaching his son since he was 4 years old.
That’s not going to stop anytime soon.
The elder Hicks made a name for himself after a standout four-year collegiate career at Grambling State from 2002-2006 before playing one year with the Kansas City Chiefs, then later seeing time in the Arena and Canadian football leagues. Now, he serves as the defensive line coach at Allen High School (Allen, Texas). Fitting, because he’s had a front row seat watching his son David Hicks Jr. blossom into one of the most coveted defensive line recruits in the class of 2023 as he enters his junior year at Allen.
