Pickering finished out the 2022 season with 25 total tackles (11 solo), also recording 2 sacks and 1 pass defended. Over 4 seasons with the Bulldogs to this point, Pickering tallies 78 tackles (31 solo), 11 sacks and 1 pass defended.
With the announcement of his return, he joins the likes of edge rusher Jordan Davis, linebacker Nathaniel “Bookie” Watson and defensive lineman Jaden Crumedy. That’s good news for a Bulldogs defensive unit that was already strong in 2022 and will now have a great deal of experience.
