Ledford's Ricky Callicutt Emerges As Deep Threat In Panthers Sky
Ledford High senior Ricky Callicutt stands 6 foot 3 and 180 pounds as a versatile three sport standout and likely top target for quarterback David Rush. Coach Bob Spain praises his athletic frame and leadership while noting Callicutt’s ability to haul in passes, return kicks, and even intercept before halftime. With Alfred Hicks sidelined by an elbow injury, Ledford may lean more on the air attack to complement its rushing game and keep Callicutt in the spotlight as Trinity looms.
