How Fast Is Ferris High Star Jalen Hicks?

We love Jalen Hicks from Spokane’s Ferris High School.  We met him two Summers ago with his then QB Christian Olson and liked everything about him.  Now a Senior the speedster is having a really nice year.  At 5’8″- and 165 lbs he is all fast twitch muscle and explosiveness waiting to happen anytime.  Think of him as lightning in a can; yes that is him.   (READ TO THE BOTTOM AND WATCH THE FILM CLIP)

Jalen Hicks can flat out burn folks.  He is electric and fun to watch on any given night!

Looking at his Track Stats on athletic.net he is an 11.0 100 meter guy and we know he has a sub 4.5 40.  His Triple Jump and 200 meters are all top tier.  But when the helmet goes on he is transformed.  Field or game speed they call it in most places.  We just know he can score from the ground or through the air and love watching him play.

“I have about 400 yards rushing so far,” said Hicks.  “Eight touchdowns so far and I have been catching some passes; there will be a lot more of that soon!”

For those of you coaches with the Need For Speed check out Jalen Hick’s film right here- You want to see fast watch the clip – click it if it does not start!

Now for a taste have a look at this clip floating around Facebook where he takes a toss out of the backfield and makes a nifty move before dropping the hammer on the afterburners. Later he takes a toss off the right and heds straight up the seam for another blast.  Reminds us of DeAnthony Thomas in a way in terms of what he can do.  No stats or film out yet for Jalen but boy we can not wait to see his mid season HUDL FILM-  All you Recruits Listen Up!!  Get your FILM UP!  Recruiting is picking up!
