Read EvaluationJames Clark | Prep Soccer Scout
Pierre was class from the start of the match, and very nearly pushed Union to the final. His towering header in the second half made him look like a man amongst boys, effortlessly getting up with a defender draped on him and slamming it home to put Union ahead. Throughout the match he displayed the best of his abilities, winning 50/50’s and aerial duels, as well as turning with the ball to send attackers the wrong way and afford himself the time and space to find outlets and push the Union attack forward.

Read EvaluationGuilherme Torres | Prep Soccer Scout
Pierre formed a stellar center back duo with Philadelphia Union teammate Gavin Wetzel and the two helped the team secure clean sheets in their two matches – the team was knocked out in the penalty kick shootout. His size is the first thing that stands out as Pierre is capable of overpowering virtually anyone that comes his way, but he’s more mobile and skilled on the ball than many would imagine. Pierre is very good with his positioning and his long legs allow him to quickly cover ground and make defensive stops. He’s also an offensive weapon in set pieces with his size and aerial ability.
