Personal Life

Pierce Thigpen is a 6'5" 230 pound tight end from Nashville, Tennessee. A former centerfielder and pitcher before fully dedicating himself to football, Thigpen brings athleticism, coordination, and movement skills that translate naturally to the tight end position. He combines excellent size and length with the versatility to line up inline, in the slot or flexed out wide. Thigpen shows reliable hands, body control, and the ability to create matchup problems against linebackers and defensive backs. He also plays with physicality in the run game and continues to develop into a complete tight end prospect with significant upside. The second of three children, Pierce comes from a strong athletic family. His older brother, Richard Thigpen, is an offensive lineman at the University of Memphis.
