Once it became clear they weren’t landing Jadon Haselwood, the Miami Hurricanes went out looking for another wide receiver option in the Class of 2019. On the third and final day of the early signing period last month, it took Miami to George Pickens.
The four-star wide receiver from Hoover in Alabama has been committed to the Auburn Tigers since 2017, but opted not to sign with the in-state school last month. He would use the first few weeks of 2019 to make a final decision, and the Hurricanes hoped they could make a last-ditch effort to sway him.
