Pepperell tight end/defensive end Drew Pearson and two of his teammates, quarterback Jonathan Watters and running back Marcus Jackson, were among the large group of players in attendance at Alabama’s Junior Day on Saturday.
“It was an amazing experience,” said the 6-foot-4, 235-pound Pearson. “They were really nice people and have nice facilities there. I had a lot of fun.”
Pearson, who is still waiting on his first scholarship offer, has been invited to Junior Day at Central Florida this weekend, though he is unsure if he’ll be able to attend.
“I’m getting letters from schools like Georgia, Central Florida and Tennessee,” he said. “I’ve been invited to a one-day camp at Georgia this summer.”
Pearson is excited about playing alongside Jackson and Watters, who are being heavily recruited.
“Playing with those guys is a lot of fun,” Pearson said. “There’s a lot of press. People talk about you.
“It’s something special that not many people get to do. So you try to take advantage of it and have fun. And you know that you’re going to get pushed, as far as competition.”
Pearson, who isn’t related to former NFL wide receiver Drew Pearson, said he wasn’t named for one of the players who starred for the Dallas Cowboys during the coach Tom Landry era three decades ago.
“It’s just a coincidence,” he said.
