Lickers notched four goals and dished out a couple of assists in Hill Academy’s win over Hill School. His off-ball wizardry was on full display all afternoon. This Rutgers commit used well-timed cuts, drifts, and sweeps to find open space for easy scores. Lickers was especially effective at making cuts to the far post, receiving a pass in traffic, and then executing a creative finish around the crease. His fourth goal of the game came in exactly that fashion and tied the game at 11-to-11 with just over a minute remaining. Licker’s ability to play with both hands was impressive, too.   

Kaidyn Lickers, one of the most skilled and underrated players on Hill Academy’s roster, was a driving force behind the team’s offensive success at the Terrapin Classic. Opposing defenses struggled to contain Hill’s relentless give-and-go and two-man actions on the wing—and Lickers was often the one making it all click.

He constantly shows one move, then does another, keeping defenders off balance. Lickers locks opponents with well-timed picks before slipping into space, and as a dodger, he combines burst and shiftiness to create separation. In tight, he uses fakes and deception to move goalies and finish efficiently. With his creativity in two-man sets and polished scoring touch, Lickers looks poised to thrive at the next level.
