Booker Pickett SR HL

I can see why Miami wants him at LB

 

[Odysseus]

Man he is twitched up and explosive as **** off the edge, depending how heavy he is he'll definitely be best utilized as a stand up rusher or blitzing LB

 

[MasterBlaster]

Quick with a high motor.

 

[bdcane4eva]

well he's relentless...thats good
needs weight and strength but that frame can hold it for sure imo
only saw maybe 3 coverage plays, one he got kinda cooked...he'll be asked to do that here

 

[AUcane]

That kid is twitched up and relentless.

Curious move keeping him at LB

 

[Problem2]

lmao, what a ridiculous athlete.

If Kiko comes back, LBs are gonna be the strength of the defense next year. Eager to see Popo and Bryant after a year in weight room too

 

[90scane]

I see him as a Wes replacement/ potentially upgrade. Hard to see the frame but he could grow by his Jr year into a 240lb rush end

 

[gogeta4]

The only time this kid needs to be going backward is on punt return.

He is an EDGE/OLB In the bear front we run ...not a true LB. He can take a shirt and learn behind Wes for a year...but his twitchiness is what we need off the edge.

if he is ever in covg someone needs to be punched

 

[skeeter]

Interesting to see what they do with him and a similar skillset (Thicker build)


BTW that tape is legit…Gotta find the right way to use him, but impressive. That 2:50 is really good

 

[canes732]

Watching his hudl I’m lost as to where he should play tbh. But he is super explosive with a high motor idk if he can play LB think I like him best as an edge

 

[kanin81]

I don’t get why they want to move him to linebacker, sure he is athletic but he would be a force coming off the edge with that speed.

Agreed I just don’t see LB here edge all the way. Malik Bryant makes sense not Pickett he can be an elite 3rd down specialist

 

[ageezy]

think wesly bissainthe's role ....

 

[JayCane20]

Reminds me of Deandre Wilder (signed here from Carol City in 2017 but didn’t play due to a neck injury)

Might even be quicker than Wilder. Everyone was hyped about him playing LB and he played the exact same role on Carol City and was a similar size out of HS.

Also had the most hilarious interview i have seen on rivals.... CLASSIC

I said lb and dl we ain’t going to have to worry about at all next season. The guys we got coming in and Pulliam Bryant and Popo that’s a nasty group. They going to be 2 deep and it’s going to be glorious.

[HurricanesR1]

Booker Pickett might be one of those players that will be referred to as a LB but will spend most of his time rushing the passer. I guess they just don't want to blow him up to 250 just to keep his hands in the dirt.

If a starter goes down at LB next year there are 4-5 guys who Miami can throw out there that aren't too slow or undersized to play.

 

[Kansas Cane]

Wow. Shot out of a cannon. We are darn fortunate to get him.
