Ricks makes change to help Stillman Tigers defense

TUSCALOOSA, AL - Heading into his senior season with the Stillman College football team, Michael Ricks isn’t sure if he can match his touchdown total from a year ago. His main goal is to prevent touchdowns. Ricks, 6-foot-2 and 193 pounds, will start at free safety for the Tigers, who begin their season on Sunday with a game against Miles College. The Labor Day Golden Classic is set to start at 6 p.m. at Birmingham’s Legion Field.

Ricks was a strong safety last season. He tied for third on the team in scoring with four touchdowns, two on fumble returns and two on interception returns. He also ranked fifth on the team with 42 tackles. “I want to get a championship in the SIAC, and I want to get a whole lot of interceptions to make my team better,” said Ricks, who was named to the preseason All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference team.
