False. Hicks was going to LSU before that stuff happened. All indications were that he was a 3 down NFL ready DT. He had the ability to rush and stop the run.

Jenkins has very little rush ability.



Yes, he was going to LSU. But he didn't and missed that developmental time. Even though we all loved Hicks' play this year, he is still raw and doesn't have any pass rush moves yet. Meanwhile, Jenkins played for an SEC-title level defense and is a physical, ready-to-play nose tackle. He actually pushed the pocket quite well in a defense designed to free up outside playmakers like Jarvis Jones. Hicks has more potential as a game-breaking guy up front, but Jenkins is ready to play as a space eater.
