George Pickens might be #1 in your hearts. And if he had his way, he wanted to be #1 in your programs, too. Pickens joined Arthur Moats and Deke on the Arthur Moats Experience With Deke podcast Thursday afternoon and explained the origins of his #14 jersey. He told the show that wasn’t the number he wanted but what he rolled with.
“That’s the number they gave me, to be honest,” Pickens told the show. “I tried to get #1 but I think it’s sacred or something like that.”
Pickens wore #1 at Hoover High School, a five-star recruit who initially committed to Auburn before flipping to Georgia.
