Scouting Notes

Long, press-capable corner with five-star pedigree — a former top-30 national recruit — who has two years of A&M starting reps in the bank. Ricks improved his ball production to five breakups in an 11-game 2025 and plays with the length and mirror quickness to run with SEC receivers on the boundary. The traits and recruiting profile point to a lockdown-track outside corner. However, the counting stats stay modest for a projected DB1: the interceptions dried up in 2025 and the tackle volume is light, so the grade holds honest until the playmaking matches the cover skill. What you want in 2026 is a takeaway spike — the picks that turn a good cover corner into a draft riser. He re-signed with three years of eligibility left, so a pro projection is a ways out; the grade sits in the fringe-pro band with clear Round 1 traits if the production arrives.
