Pierre, who’s entering his senior season at Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, also had offers from UAB, Central Michigan, Bryant, Alabama State and Eastern Kentucky.

Pierre originally announced a Temple offer back on May 1, 2023 during his sophomore year and then just over a year later announced that the Owls had re-offered him. He took his official visit to Temple Thursday, where he made his decision to commit.

At the Under Armour Next Camp in March, the 5-foot-10-inch, 170-pounder ran the fourth-fastest 40-yard-dash and the fastest out of the cornerbacks.

Pierre also runs track and finished second in the district in the 100-meter with a time of 10.89 seconds back in April.

Pierre tallied 24 tackles last season for a Cardinal Gibbons team that went 9-4 and advanced to the Florida Class 2M state quarterfinals.
