Zacch Pickens picked up South Carolina’s Mr. Football award early in the day Saturday at the same time he was showing his versatility during the Shrine Bowl.

Pickens turned in a strong defensive performance in the game with seven tackles and a pass break-up. He earned defensive MVP honors for the South Carolina squad in the 10-10 tie in the 82nd annual all-star game.

But it was Pickens’ offensive performance that had people talking about after the game. He finished with a team-high 37 yards on seven carries.

“The coaches talked about it but they said we may or may not run it,” Pickens said.
