It has been simply incredible to watch Luke Fickell say he was going to commit to recruiting close to home and watch him succeed. He was at it again over the weekend as 2018 athlete Ja’Von Hicks announced his commitment to the University of Cincinnati.
Hicks, who plays for Colerain right in Cincinnati, made unofficial visits to UC earlier this month before making his announcement on Sunday. A 6’2”, 185-pound prospect, Hicks will likely play wide receiver, which is his primary position in high school. Currently un-ranked for the 2018 class, Hicks had offers from Kent State and Bowling Green as well.
