Michael Hickmon (’02), Lancaster. He was a running back for the Mean Green football team from 1998 to 2002, helping the team win Sun Belt Conference titles and play in the 2001 and 2002 New Orleans Bowls. “Hick, among many other things, was the hero of a pivotal game in 2002,” longtime Mean Green sports broadcaster Hank Dickenson wrote on Twitter. “The win over NMSU (New Mexico State University) at Fouts (Field) featured multiple TDs by Michael and guaranteed NT a spot in the New Orleans Bowl. A consummate teammate, he accepted a different role in the offense and shined at the ultimate time.” Teammates remember him as a mentor, they told the Denton Record-Chronicle and WFAA. He later worked as a coach, guiding young athletes who participated in football and track and field. His family described him as “kind and generous.”
