Class of 2026 OL Steven Pickard (FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (1/25/25)

[CbusCuse]

Maybe Pickard was OL MVP for the 2026 class as Solomon Thomas is a 2025.

Not exactly sure. There is an OL ahead of him in the overall rankings so not sure how Pickard could be OL MVP. But there has to be some excellent kids there looking at the list of top overall players. MVP at anything there has to be impressive.

He specifically says honored to receive OL MVP at the event - seems pretty straight forward.

I hope he is way under valued according to these sites and is a stud for us

These ALL22 competitions are held at multiple locations. That's why you have multiple MVPs. Pickard probably competed at the Tampa event.

OK. Deleted and redid a post I had just done due to a mistake. I can't see the full rankings but this camp has basically all the best kids in Florida. If he was the OL MVP he has to be way up there.

This is a big friggin deal if he was ranked #1 OL at this camp out of 1158 players! These are basically the best kids in Florida. Check out these rankings in the below link.

Some sites best be re-ranking this kid after this event.

Just an FYI on this. The 1158 players is the number of rankings but appears to be the Prepzone ranking for the entire 2025 class and likely has no relation to the camp. Hard to find much other free info about this event and who was there. But I did find some articles referencing the event in a pay article that also included a blurb on Pickard. It appears that there were not many high level players at the event. The All22 camp is related to the Elite 11 and they are trying to do what they do with that with the rest of the position groups. I'm guessing the ALL22 is kind of in its infancy and not a major draw at this point. Regardless of who was there, you can't do better than MVP of your position group. And considering Pickard is more likely a Guard, winning OL MVP in a likely pass rush/pass protect competition is pretty good.

every time i see a broad jump stat i just shake my head. I just don't get the broad jump distances athletes get. 8' 6" seems like nothing. I just looked it up and even the best number by a RB this year was 11'-0". I feel like i can do that.

It won't work for me either. Anyone who wants to look it's Pickard_56 on instagram. There is a picture with Payne 72, Pickard 56 and Charney 75. Another with Pickard, Lott and Charney.

Feel he has a lot of potential. Kid seems like a very hard worker. If he makes the IMG traveling team it will allow him to play against stronger competition that should only allow him to improve. No information but I could see him as an early enrollee.

 

[orangemass]

If he doesn’t make the travel team is he really a d1 caliber player?

I believe he has been saying since he showed up on our offer lists that he is planning to enroll early wherever he goes.

Such dedication. Dare I say DART.

Don't know if people noticed, but the interviewer was short-time SU OL Joe More, who is now calling himself an OL specialist. Good for him.

Wasn’t Joe More a Shafer hire from like a community college? Nevermind. I had him mixed up with Joe Adam

I like that Pepe is wearing #44 - our QBs are going to need a step ladder to see over their line lol

He visited Florida State for the East Texas A&M game on September 6th as did Javeion Cooper. Not positive how much interest either direction but it seems like FSU is at least exploring the option of flipping him.
