Pearson on April 20, 1986.

Quoting Pearson: "I love everything about it (Clemson). I have grown up a Clemson fan. It’s always been kind of my dream since I started playing football. It’s just a great place and close by....My forte is I’m more of a run stopper. I’m not the kind of guy that will run around blocks. I like to take them head on.”
