Versatile, battle-tested Gamecock lineman who turned toughness into an NFL career
In his final South Carolina seasons, Jeanpierre was a 6-foot-4, 294-pound guard who brought rare flexibility, moving from defense to offense and handling both guard spots while fighting back from a knee injury in 2008. He was valued for toughness, adaptability, and a pro-ready mentality — the kind of lineman coaches trust when the game gets messy. That versatility carried into the NFL, where he became a reliable reserve with the Seahawks and later a coach, which says a lot about his football IQ and durability. If your team wants a selfless, physical, scheme-flexible interior lineman, he fits the bill.
