Warrior Beat

It made sense for the new defensive coordinator with Mississippi ties to have an interest in recruiting prospects from the Magnolia State.

Rolovich tweeted: “My apologies […]

Two significant things happened to Kalen Hicks this semester: 1) He was moved from rover to safety. 2) He was placed on football scholarship. “He’s a good worker,” said defensive coordinator Corey Batoon, who coaches the safeties. “First and foremost, he has a great workout.
