Miami's gameday guest list for the Florida State game keeps adding star power. Five-star edge rusher Asher Ghioto and four-star safety CJ Craig-James have already locked in trips to Hard Rock Stadium for the Oct. 17 rivalry game, and now a four-star cornerback from California is joining them.
Jordan Hicks plans to attend the Miami-FSU matchup. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back plays for Mission Viejo High School in California, where his ability to line up at both cornerback and safety has made him one of the more coveted defensive backs on the West Coast.
Jordan Hicks will visit Coral Gables for Miami-FSU
The 247Sports Composite currently rates him a four-star, ranking him the No. 20 cornerback nationally, the No. 200 overall player in the class and the No. 15 player in California.
Hicks recorded 62 tackles, including 34 solo stops, to go with five interceptions, five pass breakups and three forced fumbles across 11 games. He also chipped in on special teams, returning two kickoffs for 22 yards.
Hicks attends the same high school as Miami true freshman receiver Vance Spafford, and he's previously said he sees himself fitting well into Corey Hetherman's scheme given his ability to play multiple spots in the secondary.
The visit announcement comes just a day after Hicks trimmed his recruitment to eight schools on Friday, a list that includes USC, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, UCLA, Ole Miss and Miami.
