Deion Pierre brings veteran Samford linebacker instincts and playmaking juice
In the 2016 season, Deion Pierre was a do-it-all Samford linebacker: he played in 11 games, started 10, and posted 72 tackles with 4.0 tackles for loss, while also flashing big-play ability with a pick-six and a 21-yard interception return touchdown in 2016. He fits as a tough, experienced defensive piece who reads well, tackles reliably, and has enough instincts to create turnovers—plus he’s shown leadership traits and a competitive edge. If you want a linebacker with proven production and some splash-play upside, he’s the kind of defender coaches love.
