Coryell Pierce is a veteran, playmaking DB for Southeastern Louisiana
Pierce enters 2026 as a senior defensive back with proven ball production and a knack for impact plays, highlighted by a 2024 interception return touchdown, five tackles in that win over Lamar, and Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Week recognition.[1][10] He is valuable because he combines experience, physicality at 5'11" and 190 pounds, and special-teams versatility, with career return work and a history of being trusted in big moments.[1][6] The differentiator is his aggression and instincts: he baited the throw on the pick-six and finished 2024 fourth on the team with 54 tackles, suggesting a safety/DB who can help a defense through range, effort, and takeaways rather than just box-score volume.[10]
