Pearce joined the Hoosiers as a preferred walk-on during the middle of the season last year. He didn’t see much playing time but was a very talented high school prospect that will look to add depth to the Hoosiers secondary this season. 

The Tipton native grew up rooting for the Hoosiers according to a 247sports.com article on his decision to join the team. 

Pearce played both sides of the ball in high school and that was something that the Indiana coaches liked about him.

Drew will go into this season working to become a scholarship player.
