How Mizzou, Texas A&M starters ranked as recruits

Dezz Ricks

Texas

Desmond Ricks was originally on track to be a Class of 2024 recruit, but he reclassified in October 2022 to become part of the 2023 recruiting class. Originally from Chesapeake, Virginia, Ricks played his freshman season at Norfolk’s Norview High School before transferring to IMG Academy. At IMG, he emerged as one of the nation’s top defenders and was ranked as an On3 Consensus five-star recruit. He signed with Alabama after taking official visits also to LSU and Florida and was an early enrollee in Tuscaloosa. “They are known for producing,” Ricks said about his decision to sign with the Tide. “That is what Alabama does. If I go there, I know that is somewhere I will definitely be developed. I feel like they are deep into defensive backs. Coach (Nick) Saban is actually out there coaching defensive backs himself. That means a lot.”

Desmond Ricks is a tall corner with coverage polish who has room to continue adding strength and mass to a thinner frame. He reminds us of Greedy Williams as a high school prospect due to his coverage skills and body type.

Blue Chip

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

Elite / Top 100

Tall, refined corner who stars on one of the most talented defenses in high school football. Has good stature for the position at over 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds heading into his final season. Has average length for his height. Registers as a good athlete in the combine setting. Was a key player on IMG Academy’s talented defense as a sophomore in addition to seeing significant time as a freshman. A smooth mover with advanced technical ability. Battle-tested against top wide receivers both in practice at IMG and in playing a national schedule throughout the fall. At his best as a boundary corner, where he can uses his height and technique to crowd receivers at the catch point. Can improve his twitch when triggering against smaller receivers and in defending in-breaking routes. Also needs to get stronger to aid in progress as a run defender and tackler. Was initially in the 2024 cycle before reclassifying as a 2023 prospect.
