Citadel DL KJ Pierce brings steady, disruptive depth with real game experience
KJ Pierce is a dependable defensive lineman for The Citadel who appeared in all 12 games in 2024, flashing disruption with two tackles for loss, a QB hurry, and a pass breakup against Mercer. That kind of production suggests a player who can contribute in multiple ways, not just as a space-eater, and his all-game availability is a plus for coaches who value toughness and reliability. He looks like a fit for a team needing a rotational DL who plays with effort, discipline, and enough versatility to affect passing downs.
