Five-star plus CB DJ Pickett and his family are keeping tabs on Florida, the latest on Friday’s visit
Zephyrhills (Fla.) High five-star plus cornerback DJ Pickett and his family made it back to Florida on Friday to spend more time with head coach Billy Napier, defensive backs coach Will Harris and the Gators program.
There is runway for the Gators to make a move back to the top of the list.
“We have seen Florida a few times,” Pickett’s father Damien said. “The trip was to allow Coach Harris to speak with DJ more in-depth.
“Big takeaways was Coach Napier knows people are waiting to see how Florida does this year.”
The Pickett family is optimistic the Gators will have a good year.
“Coach Harris is a hands on coach,” Damien said. “And the guys seem to buy into everything he is telling them.”
Napier wants to coach Pickett and has the in-state blue-chipper as one of the program’s most coveted prospect regardless of position.
“Play close to home,” Damien recapped from the discussion with Napier. “So your entire family can see you play multiple games a year.”
The Pickett family knows they’ll be back in Gainesville on Aug. 31 for the game against Miami. That will be an unofficial visit.
Florida is aiming to make a move on LSU, Miami and Oregon. Georgia and Florida State also remain under consideration.
On3 ranks Pickett as the No. 1 recruit in Florida, the No. 1 cornerback in the country and the No. 4 prospect overall.
As a junior Pickett turned 52 receptions into 1,033 yards and 15 touchdowns. He had 31 tackles and an interception. As a sophomore he posted 43 receptions for 886 yards and 12 touchdowns and 39 tackles and four interceptions.
