Former Anna-Jonesboro Community High School athlete Rik Hicks received an outstanding performance award in Southern Illinois University’s recent football win over Eastern Illinois.
Hicks was picked for a “top block” award for his performance as a fullback for the Salukis.
SIU defeated Eastern Illinois 45-28.
Hicks, a 6-2, 224-pound sophomore, has been used primarily as a key blocking back in SIU’s offense.
SIU’s final game of the season will be Saturday at Indiana State, a team that features another former A-J athlete.
Lucas Hileman of Anna is at Indiana State on a baseball scholarship, but recently became the football team’s top punter.
