One of the top wide receivers in college football has suffered a potentially serious injury that could have implications on the 2021 season.
Georgia’s George Pickens will have surgery to repair an ACL injury, the school announced Wednesday (via ESPN).
Listed at 6-3, 200 pounds, Pickens showed plenty of promise and potential for the Bulldogs last season, catching 36 passes for 516 yards and six touchdowns, averaging nearly 15 yards per reception.
As a true junior heading into the 2021 season, Pickens is expected to be among the nation’s top wide receiver prospects eligible for the 2022 NFL draft. Hopefully, he’ll have a full recovery from his injury and be back to 100 percent in time to have another strong campaign before potentially making the jump to the next level.
