Jamorko Pickett (COL ’21) graduates from Georgetown University today as a fine arts major and Big East champion.
“If you would have said that sentence to people five years ago, we can count on one hand how many people would have believed you, and it wouldn’t have taken up the whole hand,” said Emmanuel Kakulu, Pickett’s head coach at Eastern High School.
Indeed, Pickett’s journey was an improbable one. To rise above the adversity he has endured throughout his life speaks to his character and confidence. To take his opportunity at a prestigious academic program with a rich basketball tradition and pay it forward makes him immortal to the community he is rooted in.
