Fickell started a record 50 straight games for the Buckeyes. His senior year the Buckeyes beat the Arizona State Sun Devils in the Rose Bowl. They went 11-1 and finished second in the AP and Coaches poll. Fickell signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints, but an injury ended his pro career.
