. Measuring at about 6’1″ 240lbs, this OG/DT combo holds down the middle and is a big part of what the Vikings look to accomplish on both sides of the ball. Appearing in 6 games, Pierre totaled 20 tackles as a DT.
The first thing I noticed is that Pierre’s signature move is the snatch, where he tosses the OL across his face so he can attack his adjacent gap. Plays away from him he gladly pursues down the line at the correct depth in the backfield, effectively taking away any cutback opportunities. Offensively he is big and strong enough to bully smaller opponents. His first step in pass pro is quick from his guard spot so he can protect his inside gap. He plays with good pad level, which helps him succeed. He works well on offensive double teams, washing down opponents with ease. I would like to see him continue to hold his spot defensively and offensively his film will get a big boost once it shows how he comes off of double teams to the second level.
As the old adage goes, your best ability is your availability. South Brunswick would benefit from Pierre being available for more games this coming fall. Here is to health, academic success, and athletic success this fall for Pierre!
