Not 1 Power 5 offer out of High School (4 years ago) was an absolute freak back then too. Keep sleeping on and doubting @ajpierce00 he will continue to prove people wrong ! Hitter Nation is proud of you AP!.
Cincinnati's Alec Pierce looked like the best National WR in my opinion. Strong hands off the LOS and down the field to displace DBs and create separation.
