Watched by his dad Adrian Hickmott, who played 134 games for the Blues after 50 at Geelong and is now a West Coast assistant coach, Hickmott showcased the running power which could be the point of difference for him to find his way onto an AFL list.
The 180cm outside midfielder pushed to level 21.3 in the Yo-Yo test, ran an elite 8.13-second agility test, and ran a 2.86-second 20m sprint – faster than any prospect at national level.
The Subiaco product looms as a late national draft selection or potential rookie after averaging 21.7 disposals in the WAFL Colts competition.
"Wil Hickmott today has run a terrific test, he's won the 20m, the Yo-Yo and the agility, so hopefully that really boosts his chances of getting picked up," state talent manager Adam Jones said.
"Wil is a very good outside player. He's got terrific speed, he's got good endurance, he kicks the ball really well and makes good decisions."
