Lakota West High School senior linebacker Jordan Hicks has earned his reputation chasing down quarterbacks and running backs. Now, he’s being pursued … by the media.
To curb the demand for the No. 2-rated player from the Class of 2010, according to ESPN, Lakota West will hold a weekly conference call for media to interview him.
This from Lakota West’s website:
“Due to the high volume of requests from the media, the Lakota West Athletic Department will be holding a weekly conference call for media outlets to interview senior linebacker Jordan Hicks. Hicks, ESPN’s #2 rated player in the class of 2010, and Lakota West head coach Larry Cox will be available every Monday at 11:00am throughout the season to field questions regarding the recruiting process.”
Kudos to Lakota West for helping Hicks cut down on his media interviews and requests, allowing more time for school and high school football … and, well, just to be a kid. It’s sad things are coming to this for high school students, isn’t it?
Jordan Hicks signed a letter of intent to enroll at University of Texas to play for Mack Brown in 2010
