The University of Tennessee is looking to build a foundation in its 2022 and 2023 recruiting classes, and one of the latest offers the Vols have extended has gone to 2023 defensive end David Hicks from Katy, Texas.
Hicks concluded his sophomore season at Morton Ranch High School, and is a 6-foot-3, 245-pound prospect with three more seasons of high school football still to play.
After a great conversation with @CoachjayhGraham I am blessed and excited to announce I have received an offer from the University of Tennessee #rockytop @coachdhicks @CoachMattSciba @CoachTBarr @MRHS_MavsFTB pic.twitter.com/pIJeXW8WzI

Hicks does not have a 247Sports Composite rating, but many college scouts are taking notice. Arizona State, Colorado, SMU, Texas A&M and TCU have all offered Hicks.
The Vols do not currently have any prospects committed to its 2023 recruiting class.
