Brian LaVell "Skip" Hicks (born October 13, 1974) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft.[1] In his four seasons, Hicks played for the Washington Redskins[2] and the Tennessee Titans.[3] He played college football for the UCLA Bruins and still holds school records for touchdowns in a season, with 26 in 1997, and career touchdowns, with 55 (1993–94, 96-97). He graduated from Burkburnett High School in Burkburnett, Texas in 1993.
