2023: In 10 games as a second-year Roughrider, Hickson rushed for 157 yards on 35 carries. He carried the ball nine times for 77 yards against the host Ottawa REDBLACKS on Sept. 22.
PRO: Hickson was named the Roughriders’ top rookie in 2022 after rushing for 533 yards (sixth-best in the league) in 13 games and averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Against the visiting REDBLACKS on July 8, 2022, he took off on a 63-yard touchdown run — the Roughriders’ longest run from scrimmage since new Mosaic Stadium opened in 2017. On Aug. 26, 2022, Hickson rushed 15 times for a career-best 129 yards against the host B.C. Lions. He followed up on Sept. 4 with 85 yards on 15 carries against the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
COLLEGE: Hickson played in 47 games at Liberty University, where he carried the ball 610 times for 2,898 yards and 30 touchdowns. He became the first Liberty player to rush for 1,000 or more yards in back-to-back seasons in more than a decade. He gained 1,032 yards along the ground in 2018 and 1,041 in 2019. Hickson graduated as Liberty’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards (4,494) and earned Phil Steele Independent All-Conference First-Team honours as a senior. As a returner, he was a second-team all-conference selection in the Big South as a freshman and a sophomore.
FAST FACT: During Hickson’s senior year in college, Liberty’s offensive co-ordinator was Roughriders legend Kent Austin.
