MorganStateBears.com catches up with Junior Wideout.

No. 2 Ricky Fisk, Junior Wideout
Port Arthur, Texas
Major: Sports Administration


Ricky Fisk enters his third year as a Bear remaining a tremendous threat in open space, which makes him so dangerous to score whenever he touches the ball. The 6-foot, 170-pound junior wideout leads the team with 123 all-purpose yards after his best game versus #4 Illinois State. Fisk, who caught four passes for 32 yards, rushed for nine yards, had 34 yards on kick returns and even had a pass attempt, in just his second start of the season.  The Port Arthur, Texas product is expected to give Bear fans plenty to cheer about when Morgan State squares off against Beltway rival Howard in the Chicago Football Classic on Saturday, Sept. 26.
