Stats: 2.5 Tackles, 1 Reception, 6 Yards
Ashton made his biggest impact on defense. He was a monster off the edge at DE. The senior looks the part with his 6’4″ 235 lbs frame and long arms. The senior was all over the backfield getting pressure and creating havoc. The stat line doesn’t come close to demonstrating his impact on the game. The senior DE is loaded up with power. Power that he used to drive OTs off the line, and his upper body strength was able to maintain separation while getting that push. I loved the way he used his hands throughout the night to defeat blocks. The versatile athlete needs more attention.

The ACL injury bug hit both Fickell athletes in 2024. It actually hit Ashton first in the Week 1 game. We were hoping to see Ashton bookend his brother on the Edgewood defense. Also be a very effective run blocker at the TE position. Ashton flashed the talent to do that as a junior during their scrimmage and some of Week 1 prior to injury. We may have had to wait a year for the breakout of the Fickell duo, but I have a strong feeling it is going to be well worth the wait. Expect big things from Ashton on both sides of the ball.
