PULLMAN — Washington State’s football program added depth to its linebacking corps, signing South Florida transfer Davon Hicks, it announced Thursday via Twitter.
The 6-foot, 215-pound Hicks appeared in 11 games as a sophomore last season, making one start. He totaled 33 tackles, with 3½ for loss. Hicks played in 10 games as a true freshman in 2021, primarily on special teams.
Hicks entered the transfer portal on April 17 and committed to UConn 10 days later, but reopened his recruitment earlier this month.
A graduate of Vero Beach High in Florida, Hicks came to USF as a three-star recruit and the No. 111 high-school outside linebacker in the country, according to ESPN.
Hicks will presumably compete for a reserve role at WSU.
