Press Release: Rowdy Pearce Commits to Utah Football Program
SALT LAKE CITY – The University of Utah football team has made another important addition to its recruiting class, securing a commitment from three-star offensive lineman Rowdy Pearce this weekend. Pearce, who plays for Midland Christian, is the ninth player to commit to Utah during this recruiting cycle.
Standing at over 6-foot-3 and weighing 285 pounds, Pearce is set to play as a center, showcasing the ideal physical traits for the position. With a solid three-star rating from 247 Sports and an impressive score of 86, he has garnered attention from various collegiate programs, including Utah, Houston, Vanderbilt, and Washington State.
This commitment comes as part of a weekend that saw several recruits, including five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo and four-star wide receivers Jaron and Kennan Pula, visiting the campus. Pearce joins fellow commits like running back LaMarcus Bell, quarterback Michael Johnson, and edge player Prestion Pitts, adding to the growing talent pool for Utah.
Pearce has excelled not just in football but across multiple sports as a Texas state champion in shot put and discus, further showcasing his athletic prowess. His ability to engage defenders and maintain foot drive makes him a valuable asset on the field. Additionally, Pearce’s explosive lower-body strength and competitiveness allow him to effectively navigate defensive linemen, positioning him well for a successful transition to center.
As Utah seeks to bolster its offensive line, Pearce’s commitment is a promising start in building a strong foundation for the future. His tenacity and multi-sport background position him as a player to watch as he develops within the Utes’ program.
