David Hicks played his freshman and sophomore seasons at Katy (Texas) Morton Ranch. He moved to Allen (Texas) High School for his junior season after his father, David Hicks Sr., took a job as the defensive line coach at the Texas powerhouse program. Hicks will play his senior year at Katy (Texas) Paetow after his father was hired on as an assistant. Hicks’ father played in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals after graduating from Grambling State. He also played in the CFL for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Hicks said he owes a lot of his success to the drive instilled in him by his father. “He taught me to never stop working,” Hicks said. “I know it can be taken away at any minute.” Hicks’ mother, Charlah Woodard, also went to school at Grambling State and is a police officer. His siblings are Morgan Woodard, Karsten Woodard, Mason Hicks and Kennedy Hicks. Hicks plans on majoring in sports management. He lists working out, video games and welding as his hobbies.

David Hicks is a powerful, versatile defensive linemen with similar size, quick hands and play strength to Marlon Davidson. It remains to be seen if Hicks ultimately slides inside or plays as a big end, but we see him likely topping out at north of 300 pounds like Davidson.

Blue-chip traits — a high-priority Power 4 target with the tools to contribute early at the highest level.

Blue Chip

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Physically-developed defensive lineman with advanced power along with length and quickness. Possesses a big frame with a muscled build and solid length with an 80-inch wingspan at 6-foot-4. Has brute strength which he pairs with initial quickness to create steady disruption along the line of scrimmage. Consistently shows quick and powerful hands at the point of attack with some advanced pass rush technique for a young defensive lineman. Very much a power player at this point in his development, but plays with some nuance and technical skill. Worked at both defensive end and defensive tackle as a junior at a powerhouse program in Texas’ highest classification as a junior before transferring high schools as a senior. A strong, but not elite athlete. Turned in dominant showings at college camps prior to his junior season. Capped of his high school career with another standout showing at a national event, earning Top Performer marks at the Under Armour All-America Game from On3.
