HEAD COACH BRANDON HICKMAN
BRANDON HICKMAN • HEAD VARSITY COACH • OFFENSIVE LINE
Coach Hickman is entering his 14th season at the helm for the Rangers, and his 20th year overall with the Jesuit Dallas football program. Born and raised in Houston, Hickman played college football at Texas Christian University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology.
Hickman coached Jesuit Dallas to its 11th UIL Bi-District Championship in 2023, earning a personal milestone along the way with his 100th career victory after the Rangers defeated Berkner, 29-7, on October 13, 2023. At the conclusion of the season, rising senior Noah McGough was named District 7-6A Special Teams Player of the Year while five members of the team, Dylan Drennan ’24, Charlie Peters ’25, Christopher Simington ’25, Quentin Williams ’24 and Grayson Wombacher ’24
Jesuit captured the 10th UIL Bi-District Championship in program history in 2022, securing its berth in the second round with a 41-14 win over Arlington. The Rangers closed out the season with a 9-3 record, marking the 11th time in 12 seasons that Hickman has led the Blue and Gold to seven or more wins. Charlie Schmidt ’23 was named the District Offensive Player of the Year, while Cade Gill ’25 secured Sophomore of the Year plaudits.
The 2021 season saw Jesuit capture the fourth district championship in program history and the third of Hickman’s tenure with an unblemished, 7-0 run through league play. Robert Fitzgerald ’22 ended the season by earning the third all-state honor of his career and the District 7-6A Most Valuable Player award, and Hickman concluded the season by being named the District Coach of the Year.
In 2019, Hickman sparked Jesuit to record one of the most dramatic turnaround seasons in Texas history as the Rangers finished the regular season with a 6-4 record before upsetting reigning state champion Longview, 27-25, in the area round. Led by Under Armour All-American EJ Smith ‘20, the Rangers saw 19 members of the team land on the all-district team, including Smith and Branson Hickman ’20, who were named unanimous first team selections.
The 2017 postseason saw the Rangers clinch the bi-district title with a 79-55 win over Lakeview Centennial on Nov. 17, setting a new program scoring record in the process. In 2015, Hickman led the Rangers to their first district title since 2004 in a season highlighted by a 24-21 win over Skyline on Oct. 2. The comeback win snapped the Raiders’ 49-game district winning streak, served as the third game of a 15-game district winning streak that lasted until 2016 and provided Jesuit with the first of back-to-back district championships.
During his time as head coach, Hickman’s teams have qualified for the postseason in 11 of 12 seasons and he has coached 13 student-athletes to 25 total all-state awards. Holding an 96-47 record during his time at Jesuit, Hickman ranks second in program coaching wins behind Jesuit Dallas Hall of Famer Gary Pasqua ’55.
At TCU, Hickman was an All-Southwest Conference Team selection at offensive tackle. He earned the Most Conscientious Award during his senior season, helping TCU clinch a share of the SWC Championship with a 7-4 record and play in the 1994 Independence Bowl. Hickman first arrived at Jesuit in 2001, coaching the offensive line while serving as the team’s strength and conditioning coach.
After a five-year stint with the Blue and Gold, Hickman became an offensive coordinator in the public school system before returning to Jesuit in 2010, becoming the ninth head coach in program history.
“The students, administration, faculty and alumni make Jesuit a very special place,” commented Hickman. “Jesuit is unique in both everything we stand for as a School and in the way it develops young men.”
Coach Hickman has been married to his wife, Amy, for 24 years. They live in McKinney with their son Branson ’20, and daughter Avery. Branson enters his red shirt senior season at the University of Oklahoma, where he was named to the Outland Trophy, Rimington Trophy and Reese’s Senior Bowl Watch Lists.
YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS UNDER COACH HICKMAN
Jesuit Dallas head coach Brandon Hickman secured his 100th career coaching victory on Oct. 13, 2023 following Jesuit’s 29-7 win over Berkner. Hickman entered the season needing four victories to reach the milestone.
Hickman’s impact on the football program at Jesuit Dallas has been undeniable. The Rangers earned the program’s first area round victory in 2013 and first regional final appearance in 2019 under his tutelage, and Jesuit has qualified for the postseason in all but one of his 12 seasons on the sideline. Coach Hickman has also captured three district titles and has won eight bi-district championships.
Heading into the 2023 season, Hickman ranks as the second-winningest coach in program history, trailing only Jesuit Dallas Hall of Fame Coach Gary Pasqua.

HEBRON
JESUIT DALLAS
Jesuit Dallas fell to Hebron in the 2024 season opener, 48-31, on Friday evening at Ranger Stadium. The Rangers pieced together several impressive drives, but a relentless and experience-laden Hebron squad used a 21-point first quarter to distance themselves early and kept the Rangers out of reach for a majority of the contest.
The Rangers recorded three passing touchdowns, two of which came from senior Charlie Peters while senior Jaeger Krauss started the season in resounding fashion with an 87-yard touchdown pass to senior Jack Yeskie to put the Rangers on the scoreboard. Peters would finish the contest with eight completions for 100 yards, while senior Will Naughton tacked on three completions for 35 yards.
Senior Henry Bourret carried the ball a team-high 13 times for 44 yards and a touchdown, as Yeskie led the team with 87 yards followed by three receptions for 51 yards and touchdown by Krauss. Junior Shane Parker snagged his first career varsity touchdown, wrapping up the contest with one reception for five yards. Junior Beck Berry caught two passes for 36 yards, including a stellar, 18-yard reception late in the fourth quarter.
On defense, senior Julien Bird led the team with 17 tackles. Senior Cade Gill racked up a sack, finishing the game with nine tackles. Senior Cooper Smith and senior Cole Hatzmann racked up eight tackles apiece while the trio of senior Robert Prager, senior Merritt Johnson and junior Parker Sherman picked up seven tackles apiece. Senior Noah McGough converted a 29-yard field goal with 1:10 left in the fourth, while going 3-for-3 in point after attempts.
JESUIT DALLAS
