2024 Booker "B9" Pickett Jr. 4* Edge from Tampa (Wharton)

[lindend]

@Memnon said we needed a thread and can't believe I forgot about him. I had him as a priority recruit in the DE/Edge thread and never did a profile. Monster JR season. Canes gear in his 247 profile. Interesting. When @Memnon tells you a thread should exist, I'm thinking there's a coded message here. We'll see.

Sounds like the 2023 version of Bain. Kid has like 50 + sacks over the last 2 seasons. A must get.

 

[Memnon]

Cane Legacy son of former Miami DE/LB Booker SR who played here from 93-96.

Booker Jr has had 183tcks 60 sacks & 38TFL’s in his first 3 years as a starter at Wharton.

His Junior season was lights out with 56tcks 30 sacks & 16TFL’s.

Plays mostly as a Stand up EDGE rusher, but could be play as a 7-9Tech DE in the 4-3 as well.

High-motor player with good arm length & pursuit ability, will need to put on more weight & get bigger at the next level.

Has some JaQues Evans to his game, high upside prospect.

One of the best EDGE prospects in the nation. MUST GET. Had no idea he was a legacy either.

 

[Dhatguy]

Will be a fail to not land him. Just do their job and he’s a cane 100%

Dad was okay here. I remember being ****ed we lost his uncle Ryan to OSU.

 

[Port Knox]

Film is legit! Gotta make sure to land him!

I remember having never heard of Booker Pickett when he turned up on our list of signees. Dennis Erickson special. Had some big-timers in his classes as well as some under-the-radar types.

Cane. Hopefully not the only one from Wharton

Every once in a while Errrickson got lucky.

Who else Wharton got? Also can u do a list of players in FL, not necessary a lock but who we in on.

 

[Lutzboy247]

Cane. Hopefully not the only one from Wharton

Gage transferred to STA if that's who you mean

 

[Odysseus]

Cane. Hopefully not the only one from Wharton

Man him and Bain just pile up them sacks at an insane clip

 

[Hufftwoseven]

My little cousins went/go to Wharton but I know nothing about the program

My goodness, B9 straight looking like he’s shot from a cannon in his highlight film. Wow, would love to stack him with the incoming frosh from the ‘23 class. Kid has a high motor and violent intentions!!! Gotta love it!!!

 

[Warrior808]

Seems like a better edge fit as 3-4 outside LB than DE in our scheme. But he is explosive, you always find ways to get guys like that on the field. Hope we get him.

 

[rustywalkedaway]

There are always some players in Tampa. Do we have any serious staff connections to the area?

Who else you got in mind since Gage is an STA Raider now?
