Watch the exclusive Q&A below.
Pierce committed to Michigan over offers from Illinois, Texas, Kentucky, Michigan State, Auburn, and Missouri.
Pierce has an On3 NIL Valuation of $9.8K with 4,700 combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
At 6-foot-3 and 290 pounds, Pierce is ranked as the No. 61 defensive lineman and No. 581 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Consensus. He is also ranked as the No. 11 overall prospect in the state of Illinois.
