An unprecedented venture before Floridian Deion Sanders became Prime Time at Florida State by excelling in all three phases in addition to two other sports, we didn't see him get chances at wide receiver until his NFL days. Travis Hunter, another native Floridian under the tutelage of Sanders at Colorado, is surely next in line. Will Pickett continue the trend going for Sunshine State natives? The 6-foot-4 talent is being courted on both sides of the ball late in his recruitment.
Pickett isn't a recruit to be projected like a gadget player at the next level. He is a towering presence with legitimate WR1 size and a skill set that allows him to excel down the field and at the catch point with his combination of speed, explosiveness and ball skills to the tune of scoring 30 receiving touchdowns in his last 30 varsity games. Pickett has been a doesn't-come-off-the-field guy since he was a sophomore and he has only looked more lethal since.
Oregon and Miami have long courted him as a potential two-way star and he says it's become more of a priority for him, which could make his current LSU commitment status that much more interesting down the stretch of the cycle.
