Running back Skip Hicks earned first-team All-America honors in 1997 and still holds UCLA Football records for career touchdowns (55) and single-season touchdowns (26 in 1997), both of which were also Pac-10 records at the time. He remains the only Bruin in history to record over 100 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving in the same game, accomplishing that feat in 1996 against Cal with 146 yards rushing and three rushing touchdowns, along with 113 receiving yards on four receptions. Hicks finished his career with 3,140 yards rushing (No. 6 in school history) and 330 points (No. 3 in school history). As a fifth-year senior in 1997, Hicks led the Bruins to the Pac-10 title and compiled a team-high 1,282 rushing yards with seven 100-yard games. In 1993, he became the first UCLA true freshman to lead UCLA in rushing (563 yards) and also tied for the team lead in rushing touchdowns with five. Hicks was selected by the Washington Redskins in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft and played four years in the league for Washington and Tennessee.
