Hickenbottom kicked off his prep career operating on the Winterset freshman team last season. Winterset graduated players that accounted for almost 1,700 of its 1,882 rushing yards from a year ago. Hickenbottom looks like a student-athlete capable of helping the Huskies overcome those losses. During his ninth-grade highlight video we see the evidence. He offers an impressive package of physicality and speed with patience and vision. Hickenbottom runs patiently, flowing with his blockers until its time to hit the jets. He has the quickness to get to the edge and turn it upfield. Hickenbottom’s athleticism and skill set play well on defense and special teams, too.
