Julius Pierce brings veteran reliability and NFL-style traits to FIU’s offensive line
A seasoned FIU left tackle, Julius Pierce is an experienced trench piece who started every game in the 2025 season, logged eight starts and about 42 snaps per game, and was recognized as the team’s Offensive Lineman of the Game after the UTEP contest. He’s got the size and power profile teams love—6'5", 295 pounds, with an 82 rating and strong marks for strength (83) and awareness (83) in EA Sports College Football 26. The big caveat: he battled a leg injury in 2024 at Middle Tennessee, so durability is worth monitoring, but his maturity, leadership, and steady pass-protection potential make him a strong fit for a line needing dependable, high-floor play.
