Wicker, rated as the No. 11 defensive tackle and the No. 110 prospect in the 2015 class by Rivals.com, has those three programs as his finalists.
His upcoming trip to UCLA will definitely be important.
"I just want to see what they run and see how I'm going to fit into their defense," Wicker said.
"I have a good relationship with them. They're telling me what they want me to do but they're not annoying about it."
The four-star prospect form Long Beach Poly visited Arizona State and Texas Tech in November and had really complimentary things to say about both programs.
The similarity of defenses at Arizona State and Long Beach Poly appeals to Wicker, who said one of the things he liked most about Texas Tech is just how big the football program was in Lubbock.
UCLA has a lot going for it in the final weeks with Wicker since it's close to home, he has a lot of friends on the team and he feels comfortable in the defense.
"It's really just those three," Wicker said.
In his senior season after moving from defensive end to defensive tackle, Wicker finished with 138 tackles and 17.5 sacks.
