Getting to know USF nose tackle Immanuel Hickman might seem challenging. He does the dirty work. He's usually at the bottom of a pile and he rarely has flashy statistics. A pair of binoculars and a working knowledge of football's nuances can help, but they'll only tell part of the story.
Hickman — call him "Manny'' — has become one of the brightest lights for Coach Alex Golesh's Bulls (4-5, 2-3 AAC) as they prepare for Saturday afternoon's game against the Temple Owls (3-6, 1-4 AAC) at Raymond James Stadium.
Hickman, 23, was a two-year starter at defensive end for the East Carolina Pirates before entering the transfer portal and seeking a new opportunity at USF.
