He tallied 1,068 points, 407 rebounds and 378 assists through just 68 games in a Penn State uniform, reaching his 1,000th point at Penn State in just 65 games. Pickett earned his bachelor's degree in journalism from Penn State's Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications in May 2023.
Lundy completed his four-year Penn State career in 2022-23 after putting together a career-best season as a senior, finishing the season with 14.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Funk's 112 triples during the 2022-23 season led the Big Ten and were the second-most in a single season in school history.
