In His Words: Lovejoy ILB Payton Pierce

Payton Pierce has colleges from coast-to-coast chasing his signature. Texas, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Ohio State are a sampling of the schools he is seriously considering.

Dude is a UNIT. Best of luck to your future career and academic endeavors! Apply yourself, don't get diverted by the "extracurricular activities" that are abundant at these large schools. Understand that you're setting yourself up to have a future, a future in which you'll be able to have the type of money where you can do and be whatever you envision; don't get distracted, there's no way around doing the work. Best of luck to you, young man!

When you are a wrestler, it makes you better at EVERYTHING in life.. I played linebacker at a division 1 school for a few years. The only reason I was the football player that I was, was bc I wrestled starting at age 5. Not only does it make you a better athlete but it makes kids better people.. ask any division 1 coach, if you had 2 athletes that were identical in talent and size but the only difference is one wrestled for 4 years and the other played basketball for 4...99.9% of the time they will choose the wrestler...more coachable, more confident, well mannered and will work as hard or harder than anyone on the team. Kid seems like a stud

Super cool guy.. I was hoping Payton would go to Texas A&M..

This kid is dope. I'm kinda surprised he didn't pick a school in Texas. I wonder if this kid will make it to the NFL?

Took an entire season to take care of his hamstring? Geez

If he is #1 in Texas, why is he a 4 star and not in the SEC ?
