Home/College Football

“If you are a DB and Coach Raymond is at LSU, I feel that’s the right place to be. That tells you everything right there,” said star cornerback player DJ Pickett after committing to the LSU Tigers. But it looks like Pickett is still confused with his desired college football team, as he is not only visiting a Georgia Bulldogs game against the Vols but also showing surprising connections with another team. But is it really for a switch, or is there something else brewing up?

On November 14, cornerback DJ Pickett took to X to share a video edit of himself in Hurricanes apparel, saying, “You wanna see something cool?” Well, I am going to do it anyway,” despite committing to the LSU Tigers. Pickett’s recent tweet is raising concern for the team as Miami has been trying to get in Pickett for a long time, and moreover, the cornerback has already announced his visit to Georgia’s game against the Vols this week. With this new turn of events, it looks like Miami is back on the list.

It’s surprising to see DJ Pickett sharing a video related to Miami, as he has always made his intentions loud and clear about joining the Tigers over the Oregon Ducks and Miami Hurricanes, and his recent move contradicts it all. However, Pickett has always kept his options open, even after committing to the Tigers. But the question is, Pickett is considering Miami again for a switch.

Well, who doesn’t want a player like DJ Pickett on his team? The young cornerback has shown remarkable standing when playing for his high school team. DJ Pickett has recorded 52 passes running for 1,033 yards with 15 touchdowns on offense while scoring 31 tackles on defense. Now you can understand that gaining a player who is good at both sides of the game is something every team desires. But it looks like Pickett is still confused with his selection.

DJ Pickett in two minds

Well, the recruitment game to get in Zephyrhill star five-star recruit DJ Pickett got much more intense than expected this weekend, as the young cornerback was originally supposed to visit Bill Napier’s Florida Gators game against the LSU Tigers. This doesn’t come as a big surprise, as Gators have been trying to get DJ Pickett’s commitment for a long time, and he has even visited the university earlier.

However, not visiting their game is not a good sign for the LSU Tigers, as it will already be a Tigers-dominating game, given the Florida Gators’ condition in the league. In contrast, Georgia and Tennessee’s game might have a major impact on his recruitment.

However, DJ Pickett has always shown a keen interest in Brian Kelly’s LSU Tigers. Even after the team had an embarrassing loss against Alabama last week, Pickett didn’t change his mind and stuck to the Tigers. And knowing that LSU already has quarterback Bryce Underwood’s commitment, it will be interesting to see the duo play together on the field. it’s an added advantage for the team. However, Pickett’s recent video on Miami surely raises some concerns for the Tigers, or is there another story behind it? Will know that with time..
