DeArieun Hicks, a sociology major and standout defensive tackle from Richmond High School, is poised to make waves at Kansas State despite starting as a third-stringer. With three years of eligibility remaining and a scholarship, Hicks brings solid stats from Gardner-Webb — 21 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery — including a standout performance vs. Charleston Southern. He chose K-State over Iowa State, influenced by coach Buddy Wyatt, and now, under the Wildcats’ new eligibility system, he’s officially a junior — ready to step up in 2026.
