He earned MIAA player of the week and Don Hansen’s National Player of the week two times during the season. Ricketts ranks 7th in Central Missouri history with 268 career stops (first among DB’s) and is tied for 8th in interceptions with nine. His pick return for a touchdown against Fort Hays State was the fourth of his career, a UCM record.
