Often, it seems to TL Hanna (Anderson, SC) 2019 four-star defensive end Zacch Pickens (6-4, 240) that all anyone wants to ask him about are his home-state schools. Sure, he’s interested in Clemson and South Carolina. But he’s also looking a bit further.

Pickens is up to 18 offers. And he’s taken a handful of visits already. He’s got one more coming this weekend, but for the time being, he’s not leaning towards any school or group of schools.

“I look for where I can feel like home and everything is a good environment,” Pickens said. “Also, where it’s all calm or cool. I’m thinking about majoring in business. I did change my mind, but I know I want to go for business.”

Pickens has visited both Clemson and South Carolina, along with Florida State and Tennessee. Nothing especially caught his attention, though, in his mind.
