We all know how much Jimbo loves to recruit and sign multi-sport athletes, and David Hicks Jr is no exception. Not only is the five-star recruit one of the top football prospects in the 2023 class, he also now holds the record for the longest distance in the nation at 202 feet, 2 inches.
Thats easily won him first place in the District 19-6A meet in the discus throw, but he also took home the gold in the shot put with a throw of 59 feet, 10 inches.
Big day for @DJ2g23 Winning the Katyisd 19-6A Discus setting a new PR 202’2 and the Shot Put 59’10. Congrats! @PaetowXC_TF @PaetowAthletics @AggieFootball @TexAgs @KatyTimesSports @ihss_houston pic.twitter.com/0NNzVacvyj
