Former Lakota West High School standout Jordan Hicks - a 2008 graduate who is one of 19 NFL players from Greater Cincinnati high schools - was among recent inductees into the Lakota Athletic Hall of Fame.

From @CoachLarryCox via Twitter:

The Minnesota Vikings announced March 15 that they agreed to terms with Hicks. NFL reporter Adam Caplan reported via Twitter that the linebacker's deal was expected to be for two years and $10 million, with $6.5M guaranteed.

A congratulatory tweet from @LakotaWestFB:

Earlier this month , the Arizona Cardinals announced they released Hicks with one year left on his contract with NFL free agency approaching - a move that gave the team a reported $6.5 million in cap space.

Hicks had won back his starting position as inside linebacker for the Cardinals - after the team had told him to seek a trade - and finished the 2021 season with 116 tackles.

Hicks, 29, played the past three seasons in Arizona after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was a third-round pick of the Eagles out of Texas in the 2015 NFL Draft.
