Bickford caught my attention during the Back 2 Ballin 7v7 tournament last April in Cedar Falls. It put him on my radar to track during the 2025 prep season at West Liberty. He built on my initial impressions with a solid sophomore campaign for the Comets, leading them in catches (29), receiving yards (455) and touchdown grabs (4). Thirteen of his 15.0 tackles were of the solo variety. He had two interceptions and a pass defended. Bickford averaged 30.2 yards on 13 kick returns. He’ll now test his talents in Class 5A as an 11th-grader after transferring to Iowa City High, which has added on lot to its offense during the offseason. After my latest in-person scouting opportunity at Back 2 Ballin High 2026 during April at the UNI-Dome, I’m confident Bickford can be successful with a jump up in competition. He’s a playmaker with long arms and athleticism. Bickford has a projectable frame capable of adding plenty of good weight without the loss of speed or agility. He’s also an interesting defender with his skill set, and that side of the ball kept in play as a path to the next level.
