DJ Pickett, a soon to be Junior at Zephyrhills High School in Tampa, Florida, has recently been lauded for his football excellence. He recently earned a five-star rating from NUC Sports, and is seen as a top prospect for 2025 college football.

Pickett attributes much of his success to the hard work and dedication he put in while growing up. He started seriously training in middle school and only continued as he entered into high school and started to gain recognition as he further developed.  He has the amazing ability to play both sides of the ball at the next level.  It is expected that he will be playing safety on the defensive side of the ball.

DJ has always been a major contributor to his team, but his work ethic and natural athletic ability really began to shine through the more he played the game. During this time, he proved himself to be a team leader and a reliable asset on and off the field. He is often the go-to player when his team needs a big play.

In terms of physical ability, Pickett is a natural athlete at 6-3 175 pounds. He has quick feet and a tremendous burst, making him an absolute stud in the defensive backfield.  A rangy long db, he has the ability to play sideline to sideline and that’s in pursuit as well as when the ball is in the air.. Additionally, his strength and explosiveness are top-notch, along with a football IQ that is incredibly high. All of these attributes helped him earn his five-star rating from NUC Sports

DJ is now being recruited by some of the top college football programs in the country. It would be hard to see this guy leave Florida but with over 30 offers, the choice is DJ’s.  His future looks bright, and it seems likely that he will gain even more recognition and success in the future. 

Off the field, Pickett is a leader both in the locker room and in the community. He is a mentor to younger players and a role model for aspiring football players. He is also involved in a number of community outreach programs, and works hard to ensure a bright future for the communities he serves!
