Small change paying big dividends for Pierce, Raiders

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — A slight position change has paid dividends the past two games for Middle Tennessee's leading wide receiver.

After starting the season being utilized more on the outside, Jarrin Pierce has moved inside to the slot the last two weeks. The redshirt senior has responded with two career outings, helping to jumpstart a struggling Blue Raider offense.

"Playing inside was something I'm used to and I've always played," Pierce said. "I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I know a lot about playing on the outside now, and playing slot now feels like home again.
