Loyal Ricks Jr,Contributor
Researching and reporting the latest sports news is my lifelong passion. My love for sports began with picking up a Football. Experiences traveling to FBU Top Gun, Army All-American Bowls, Combines and other events developed my understanding of the game. In 2015, I enrolled into Delaware State University to study Mass Communications. My concentration of TV, Radio and Film helped me learn the skills and practices of media. I graduated in 2019 and since then, my focus has been reporting news to the masses with the goal to help all understand the sports we love to watch!

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage.
From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
