Elijah Pearson commits to Baldwin Wallace

San Marcos senior tight end Elijah Pearson came a long way in a short amount of time.

When he first came in, coaches described him as a 185-pound freshman who they were unsure about. But it only took one practice and one block for head coach John Walsh and tight ends coach Benjamin Brinkley to realize they had a future starter. 

Earlier in Pearson’s career, he was told he was the last player on the depth chart but that he could make varsity if he just kept working. He did that, and much more.
