A native of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Alec Pierce helped lead the Cincinnati Bearcats to the College Football Playoff in 2021, marking the first time a Group of Five team accomplished such a feat.
After bouncing back from an injury riddled 2020 season Pierce turned in a fantastic senior season for the Bearcats. Pierce was Cincinnati’s leading receiver and collected Allu2010AAC Secondu2010Team honors in 2021. Pierce was named to The Athletic’s annual “Freaks” List by Bruce Feldman, and it’s easy to see why.
Pierce also showed his mental strength by becoming Cincinnati’s first CoSIDA Academic Allu2010America First Team honoree since 1997.
