Rocco Hicks Video Breakdown
Coaches Comments: 
  • "Rocco will be a college coach's dream.  A versatile athlete with a team first mentality he can do it all on the field.  Nationally recognized as a top FOGO he is a traditional type of player who will play both sides of the ball well.  The combination of his leadership and toughness are hard to top and when blended with his raw natural athletic ability he gives a lot of reason to be bullish on his potential in college'-Rory Doucette Legends Lacrosse
  • Coach Brenden Surface,TeamKC (Rockhurst University Coach)-“Rocco is a big, athletic, midfielder who can do it all.  He runs down the alleys hard and can score on the run.  Can D up 1v1. Will win the faceoff.  And on top of that, he's an even better kid.“
  • Coach Cam McCulley, TeamKC(Rockhurst University Coach)-“A big, physical kid who can play everywhere. Can face off, dodge, pass, shoot, and play defense...all very well. He’s a great kid who is always improving.”
  • Coach Dave Melvin, Venom-“Rocco is a strong versatile player, a leader on and off the field”
  • Sal Valdivia, Faceoff Specialist Coach and starting FOGO for Rockhurst University-“I believe Rocco is not only an amazing athlete but also an amazing person. He has the will and drive to make himself a better person both on and off the field.”

Teammate Comments:​
  • “I have played with Rocco Hicks for 4 years and what strikes me is that he is humble and coachable. He is extremely athletic, has a great shot and is a threat dodging from the midfield. And yet he continues to ask questions and learns as much about the game of lacrosse as he can. Every time he steps on the field he is a difference maker. He provided leadership from the midfield despite being one of the youngest on the field. I can’t say enough how great of a teammate he was. He is one of the greatest people I’ve every played with and I count myself lucky to call him a friend.”

  • Blake Martin, Goalie Blue Valley West High School (playing for Wagner this fall)- 
    “As a goalie, there is no better feeling than Rocco taking possession of the ball. Rocco is someone I can always rely on and he is one of the best teammates anyone could ask for. No matter what team he plays on, he will always shine and catch the eyes of other coaches and players. It has been an absolute pleasure playing with him these past 3 years and I know he is going to be something great at the next level.“
  • Bobby Conroy.(committed to Hampton University) on Rocco’s Venom and TeamKC teams-
    “Rocco is a hard working and outstanding athlete that has a good mentality toward the game, other players, and teammates.”
  • Lars Yarkosky has played with Rocco since elementary school and is on Rocco’s Venom and TeamKC teams-
    “Rocco Hicks is a do what needs to be done type of guy. I’ve never heard Rocco complain about himself or somebody else on or off the field. Optimism and grit are his most dangerous weapons.“
  • Ian Keylon, Venom and TeamKC-“Rocco is a great lacrosse player and an even better friend. He works hard and it shows when he dominates on the field”
