Defensive end Zacch Pickens of T.L. Hanna High figured the end of his final spring practice was the right time to announce where he will play his college football. So, following the Yellow Jackets' spring game Friday night, Pickens brought his family, friends, teammates and media together, pulled a USC cap out of a bag and pledged his allegiance to the Gamecocks for the next three or four years.
"I feel wonderful about everything. Feels like a relief really," Pickens said Saturday afternoon, adding that the recruiting process was starting to take its toll on him.
