Flying Under-The-Radar: Miami Palmetto 17' CB Christian Pierre-Louis

PINECREST, FLA. -- Miami Palmetto Sr. head football coach Mike Manasco, is bringing the excitement back to the Pinecrest community, as the Panthers are undefeated (5-0, 2-0) on the season and is playing, arguably the best team football in the 8A classification. I'm (Jerry Williamson) also a Miami Palmetto graduate. /react-text react-text: 187 The Panthers' young football roster, consist of three senior starters, and is led but one of three seniors. Team captain and senior cornerback Christian Pierre-louis, is someone you probably never heard of. But, is playing quietly as one of the premier senior cornerbacks in South Florida, of course without the stars and offers next to his name. /react-text react-text: 191 Pierre-louis lack an offer at the moment, but is receiving D1 interest. FIU, EKU, UPENN as well as Georgetown have all shown interest. FIU has invited the rising senior to their last 2 home games. The Panthers senior captain -- is playing at a high-level against the highest competition in South Florida at the 8A classification. /react-text react-text: 195 Miami Palmetto Head Coach Mike Manasco praises CB Christian Pierre-Louis /react-text react-text: 199 "Great character guy. Great teammate. /react-text He is leading a very young secondary. /react-text Never in trouble and very soft spoken. Very coachable and has a tremendous football IQ. Lead by example and is the best cover kid I've had" said Manasco /react-text react-text: 209 Manasco' Twitter - @PantherPride305 /react-text react-text: 213 TESTING/MEASURABLE /react-text react-text: 217 Pierre-louis stands 5-foot-9, 165-pounds with 4.49/40 speed, 33.5 vertical jump and 4.2 shuttle as well as 590-pounds of pure strength (bench 245lbs. & squat 345lbs.) /react-text react-text: 221 The rising senior is making his bid for All-County and All-State honors, allowing two receptions (none over ten yards) on the season, and zero touchdowns after being targeted a number of times. /react-text react-text: 225 Moreover, he ranks No. 2 in South Florida in interceptions and after two completions within the first five games of the season, he's certainly worth the consideration. /react-text react-text: 229 ACADEMICS /react-text react-text: 233 Pierre-louis is also worth a scholarship offer consideration. He sports a 3.4 GPA, 1180 SAT and clearinghouse completed and after high praise from the mouth of the head ball coach, he's a recruiting steal and not a risk, come National Signing Day. /react-text react-text: 237 His stock can continue to increase with upcoming games versus undefeated district schools with D1 wide receivers for instance Miami Edison and Miami Southridge. /react-text react-text: 241 SCOUTING REPORT /react-text react-text: 245 Lacks the idea height at cornerback. But, makes up for it with impressive lateral quickness, high football IQ and physical play. His man-to-man coverage skills stands out on film. Great hip movement and doesn't panic while finding the ball while in coverage. He doesn't shy away from contact and shows great reactions on difficult routes. /react-text react-text: 249 CONTACT /react-text react-text: 253 Pierre-louis' Twitter - @ChrisPierre22 /react-text react-text: 257 Pierre-louis Hudl - /react-text http://www.hudl.com/profile/4438143/christian-pierre-louis
