Hicks rushed for more than 2,100 yards during his four-year career playing for coach Pat Dye and completed his eligibility with the fifth-most rushing yards in school history. As a freshman in 1975, he scored three touchdowns to lead ECU to its first-ever win over North Carolina. A year later he was named all-conference after he rushed for 897 yards to steer ECU to the 1976 Southern Conference championship. Hicks holds the school record for the longest rushing play (95 yards) in ECU history. As a senior and team captain in 1978, he helped the Pirates win the Independence Bowl and was named to the All-South Independent second-team as well as the Pirates' Most Outstanding Offensive Player. The New York Giants selected him in the sixth round of the 1979 NFL Draft.
