Cal lands enrollment of DB Elijah Hicks, a former Notre Dame commit

Cal really isn’t that bad a place to coach! You fire a coach, you land a four-star athlete! That’s just the way things work here!

La Mirada (Ca.) cornerback Elijah Hicks has flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Cal. Hicks graduated early and will participate in spring camp.

Hicks is ranked 331st overall by the 247Composite (0.8900) as the 37th best cornerback and the 36th best prospect in California. Hicks had offers from everywhere, including Michigan, USC, Oregon, UCLA, Washington, ASU, Arizona, WSU, and academic programs like Northwestern, Harvard and Yale.

At 6-0 and 185 pounds, Hicks will bring Cal even more depth in their strongest defensive unit: Secondary.
