Antonio Pierce Named Recruiting Director for Sun Devil Football
Sun Devil Football linebackers coach Antonio Pierce has been named the program's Recruiting Director in addition to his role with the linebackers, as announced by head coach Herm Edwards on Thursday.
Pierce, who spent the previous four seasons as the head coach of the Long Beach Poly High School football program following a nine-year career in the NFL, is in his first season as the linebackers coach for the Sun Devil Football program.
Under Pierce's tutelage, the Sun Devils saw two freshmen linebackers start in the season opener against UTSA (Merlin Robertson and Darien Butler) and his linebacking corps combined for 17 tackles and 5.5 tackles for loss in the contest.
