Texas A&M corner Dezz Ricks prepares for competitive 2026 season

Summary

Cornerback Dezz Ricks enters the 2026 season with a solid background and expectations for growth at Texas A&M. After starting all thirteen games last year, he contributed twenty-six tackles and six pass breakups. The competition is fierce due to Will Lee III's departure to the NFL, with Ricks currently positioned to start among challengers Julian Humphrey and Ricky Gibson. He aims to build on a reliable performance in a secondary deemed strong by head coach Mike Elko. Fall camp will determine Ricks' role as the depth chart evolves.
