Jaden Hicks Becomes First NYS Alum to Play in a Super Bowl

Nevada Youth Sports is proud to celebrate a historic milestone with Jaden Hicks becoming the first NYS alumni to reach the Super Bowl.

Hicks, who once played for the Jr. Crusaders in our league, went on to star at Bishop Gorman before continuing his football journey at Washington State. He was drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming one of four NYS drafted that year — alongside Rome Odunze, Troy Fautanu, and Jonah Laulu.

In his rookie season, Hicks has emerged as a key contributor for the defending champions, recording three interceptions and earning praise for his playmaking and poise on the field.
