Though he’s only a junior in high school, WR George Pickens seems like he has the skills to be an impact player in college.
The 2019 4-star Auburn commit dazzled on Friday night for Hoover, scoring on a long punt return that featured several broken tackles and some amazing field vision.
The return, as you can see below, looked like it was stopped dead a couple of times, but Pickens kept going, not giving up until he found the end zone:

According to the 247Sports composite, Pickens is the No. 33 wide receiver in the class of 2019 and the No. 6 overall recruit from the state of Alabama.
He committed to Auburn on July 21, but the Tigers will have to keep him committed all the way through next season before he can join the team.
