Hickville: Riders extend RB Frankie Hickson

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have re-signed American running back Frankie Hickson for the 2024 season. 

The five-foot-eight, 200-pound back joined the Riders in 2022 and was voted the team’s Most Outstanding Rooke after notching 85 carries for 533 yards and one touchdown. He also caught 17 passes for 109 yards through 13 games in his first year.

Hickson saw his production and role decrease substantially in 2023, despite appearing in 10 games. He carried the ball 35 times for just 157 yards on the season, adding four catches for 39 yards.

The native of Lynchburg, Va. came to Saskatchewan after spending five collegiate seasons at Liberty University, playing in 47 games for the Flames. He posted 610 career carries for 2,898 yards and 30 touchdowns, finishing his collegiate career as the program’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards with 4,494.

Saskatchewan will begin their 2024 season on Saturday, June 8 when they travel to Edmonton to face the Elks.
