Nephew of former Ohio State star puts Ohio State in trimmed list
Ohio State football is getting some love this Valentine’s Day from a top-100 prospect. Booker Pickett named his top nine schools and included the Buckeyes.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Booker’s uncle, Ryan Pickett, starred in Columbus in the late 90s thru 2000. Ryan was a load on the Buckeye defensive line and a first-round NFL draft selection by the St. Louis Rams. He played 14 seasons in the league with the Rams, Packers and Texans, winning a Super Bowl with Green Bay in 2011.
Booker said he believes “the Buckeyes are building something special. … I know I’ll get developed there.” Pickett is the No. 6 edge rusher in the 2024 class on the 247Sports composite.
Others on Pickett’s short list are Florida State, Georgia, Louisville, Miami (Florida), Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee and USC.
