CanesInSight caught up with five-star cornerback DJ Pickett’s parents. Pickett attended the Miami vs. FAMU game at Hard Rock Stadium, which the Hurricanes won 56-9.

Tammie Pickett, the mother of DJ, really enjoyed the game yesterday and was happy to see her nephew, freshman DE Booker Pickett, make his first tackle.

“It was amazing, and to see my nephew get in and get his first tackle was simply magical,” Tammie said.

DJ Pickett excels in both track (10.62 100M) and football. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound cornerback intends to participate in the 2025 Under Armour All-America Game.

The experienced defender is ranked third in his position for the 2025 class of recruits. Pickett is the highest-rated player in Florida and ranks seventh nationally in the 2025 recruiting season, according to 247Sports.

I really hope the staff is giving Hanks just as much if not more attention. He’s the one we’re most likely to land. The second Pickett canceled his visit last minute because he remembered he had “homecoming” should have been the clear sign that he likely isn’t coming

as if u dont know when your homecoming game is lol

He wants us to believe he woke up Saturday morning and said “oh shoot, I have a homecoming game. I can’t make it to campus anymore.” Dude knew his schedule months before hand lol

Just a prediction, not info. We don't know.

I was just relaying what you said on the daily podcast. You said you still think Miami. At this point, i dont think many of us thinks he's coming. Will be a great surprise.

Really wish more kids had the Travis Hunter mentality. Not in to the whole Coach Prime movement or anything but the kid said F-You to conferences, blue bloods, “factories” and all that. He knew he was that dude and knew he was gonna get drafted first round no matter where he went.
