FB: Signing Day 2018 - Ashtan Pierre

Three-star prospect by all major recruiting services … Played multiple positions in high school, including linebacker, defensive end, running back, kick return and punt returner … 247sports says “Pierre is a rangy, aggressive defender that does a nice job of making his presence felt by striking and driving through the ball carrier. He does the majority of his damage when shooting off the edge, but also shows good backside pursuit and effort until the whistle is blown. Physically, Pierre possesses a great build with his best football ahead of him. He projects best at outside linebacker with his ability to roam in space and lay a beat down on the ball carrier, but this is an instinctive, aggressive defender that's always swarming around the pigskin.” … Coached by Jevon Glenn … Helped lead Deerfield to the Class 8A state semifinals in 2016 and the regional quarterfinals in 2017 … Chose Kentucky over Oklahoma, South Carolina, Iowa, Iowa State and Ole Miss.
