She rejoined the program as a master’s dietetic intern prior to the 2022 football season before being named an assistant football dietitian for the 2023-24 seasons.
Hicks, a Lubbock native, has two degrees from Texas Tech University, earning a bachelor’s in nutritional sciences and dietetics in 2020 before adding a master’s of science in nutrition and dietetics with a concentration in sports dietetics in 2022.
