"But the South Orange native wanted a school that offered the best fit for himself and his family, and one that would offer him the most off the field as well as on the field.... With the business of where he’ll play football for the next three or four years taken care of, Hickman’s attention turns completely towards helping DePaul repeat as Non-Public Group 3 state champions and win its third title in the last four years."
