Adarius Pickett will return to the UCLA Bruins for his senior season. The redshirt junior from Richmond, CA announced his decision tonight on Twitter.
Pickett deserves some major kudos. He is clearly bucking the trend here, which is to leave school early to pursue the riches of the NFL.
Pickett is the first Bruin junior who has decided to return rather than declare for the draft. So far this week, three Bruins have declared for the 2018 NFL Draft. The decision by Josh Rosen was an obvious one while Kolton Miller and Jordan Lasley may have decided to leave school too early.
