Georgia
Elite
Pierce earned an invitation to compete with Georgia Elite - a showcase featuring some of the highest-rated athletes in the state. Competing at this level in seventh grade against top-tier talent from across Georgia is a testament to his development and football IQ. Speaking of development, Pierce was very excited to take on a role on the defensive side of the ball at Corner. With his sixth and seventh grade years primarily focused on Offense and special teams, this was an opportunity to match up against some of the best talent in Georgia - in a role he's been eager to play.

7v7
Wins
Pierce's 7v7 season highlighted his ability to win at the line of scrimmage, create separation, and make plays in space against elite competition. Pierce enjoyed the 7v7 season that he was able to participate in as shortly after week three he broke his finger playing basketball. He came back six weeks later - stronger than ever.
