Akiem Hicks NFL Draft Bio

Akiem Jamar Hicks (born November 16, 1989) is an American football defensive end for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He played college football at Sacramento City College and at the University of Regina. He was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2012 NFL Draft, 89th overall, by the New Orleans Saints.

A native of the Sacramento metropolitan area in the US state of California, Hicks was born in Elk Grove, attended Del Campo High School in Fair Oaks, and began his college career at Sacramento City College. After the 2008 season, he was rated as a top junior college player and signed to play at LSU. However, recruiting violations by LSU made him ineligible for the 2009 season; unable to transfer to another American football program, he went to work at a DirecTV call center in Colorado Springs, Colorado while he considered his next move. Hicks had an offer to play for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, but decided instead to continue his education and college football career with the Regina Rams of the Canada West Universities Athletic Association. After his first season at Regina, he was drafted by the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League, but again decided to stay in college. In his second year at Regina, he made 42 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks and was named the CWUAA's top lineman. A strong performance in the East-West Shrine Game increased his profile with NFL scouts.
