Former 5-Star Alabama CB is now predicted to land with Texas A&M

247Sports’ Steve Wiltfong has submitted his prediction for former Alabama CB Dezz Ricks to transfer to Texas A&M.

Well, that was quick! After Noles247’s Zach Bolstein reported that former Alabama cornerback Dezz Ricks had planned a visit to Texas A&M this week, 247Sports’ Recruiting Director Steve Wiltfong submitted his official prediction for the Aggies to pick up a commitment from the 17th-ranked player in the transfer portal.

Coming out of the 2023 recruiting class, Ricks was a five-star prospect, and according to 247Sports composite, he was the 25th-ranked player in the cycle, the 2nd-ranked cornerback and the 6th-ranked player in Florida out of the elite IMG Academy in Bradenton (FL).

Standing at 6’1″ and just over 185 pounds, Ricks was seldom used during his freshman season due to the depth in the secondary while sitting behind future NFL starter Terrion Arnold throughout the season.

So far this offseason, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has been nothing short of masterful while utilizing the transfer portal, already adding four cornerbacks to what is currently posited as the 2nd-ranked transfer portal class. Due to his size, natural talent, and SEC experience, Dezz Ricks would immediately compete for a starting/rotational spot on the Aggies’ defense in 2024.
