Isaac Pickens Isaac Pickens 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Lewis County | 2028 State WV is the kind of young linebacker you notice right away when you turn on the Lewis County tape. At 6’1, 210 with the build and presence of a traditional middle linebacker, he handled himself well as a sophomore and gave the Minutemen steady play in the middle of the defense. He’s physical, he’s comfortable taking on blocks, and he plays with the temperament you want inside. The next phase of his development is going to hinge on how much range and explosiveness he can add to his game over the next year. The toughness and instincts are already in place; that part isn’t a question. If the athletic profile continues to trend upward as he moves toward his junior season, Pickens has a chance to separate himself and move from a solid underclassman to a legitimate name in the 2028 linebacker conversation.
