Cal football scouting report: Early enrollee DB Elijah Hicks

Of the many surprises of the 2016 offseason, from the firing of Sonny Dykes to the many competitive hires that new HC Justin Wilcox has made, the de-commitment of CB Elijah Hicks form Notre Dame and his subsequent commitment to Cal was perhaps the most shocking especially when you take into consideration that we had no head coach at the time of his commitment. When you tack on the fact that Hicks is a highly regarded cover corner, rated a high 3-star recruit and 4-star recruit by many of the recruiting sites, it made it that much sweeter.
