Pickens lived up to all the hype he was given his freshman year.  He led the Dawgs wide receivers in every single receiving category as a freshman.

Pickens caught 49 passes for 727 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2019 and is expected to put up even bigger numbers in 2020 with Wake Forest transfer quarterback Jamie Newman joining the Bulldog offense.
