UGA WR George Pickens’ high school coach offers high praise

Georgia’s top freshman wide receiver George Pickens has been making headlines and raising eyebrows this preseason for the Bulldogs.  Pickens has been making some insane catches and has been showered with high praise from many.

Watch Pickens grab an athletic one hander on the sideline during a scrimmage:

Josh Niblett, the head coach at Pickens’ alma matter – Hoover High School in Alabama – gave the highest praise for Pickens in a response to this catch.

Coach Niblett said he’s seen this type of play from Pickens his whole varsity career at Hoover, and thinks it’s just the beginning for his potential.  Pickens will most likely pick up a lot of the missing pieces for UGA in the receiving core, and is staring to showcase his ability to Dawgs fans and college football as a whole.
