Before he suits up as a junior for Hewitt-Trussville High School in Birmingham (Ala.), offensive lineman Pierce Quick joined Matt Suleski of Fox Sports Shoals and yours truly on Monday’s airing of The Way It Is. Regarded as a four-star offensive tackle by multiple recruiting networks, Quick committed to the University of Alabama on April 22. With the program losing Bradley Bozeman and possibly Ross Pierschbacher after the season, it was important to land Quick.
“It was one of the greatest days of my life,” Quick said upon being asked about his excitement to receive an offer from the Tide.
