Subject: 2028 Forward (6'1") — Nicole Pearce, Chiles HS / Tallahassee Thunder
Coach Houser,
My name is Nicole Pearce. I am a 6'1" forward in the class of 2028 at Chiles High School in Tallahassee, Florida, and I play club for Tallahassee Thunder.
Your frontcourt is carrying mostly upperclassmen right now, so I know forwards in my class are part of what you are looking at.
I play power forward and small forward. I rebound out of my area, run the floor in transition, shoot a high percentage, and I can guard more than one position. This past season I was co-MVP of our JV team and received the Captain's Choice Leadership Award on varsity.
I want to be an athletic trainer, and Columbus State is one of the few schools on my list where the Kinesiology degree and the Exercise Science master's line up with that plan on one campus.
Off the floor I carry a 3.85 unweighted and 4.16 weighted GPA and I am on the honor roll.

Coach Brown,
My name is Nicole Pearce. I am a 6'1" forward in the class of 2028 at Chiles High School in Tallahassee, Florida, and I play club for Tallahassee Thunder.
I am reaching out early because UWF is at the top of my list, and I would rather you know who I am now than in two years.
I play power forward and small forward. I rebound out of my area, run the floor in transition, shoot a high percentage, and I can guard more than one position. This past season I was co-MVP of our JV team and received the Captain's Choice Leadership Award on varsity.
The reason UWF sits at the top: I want to be an athletic trainer, and your CAATE-accredited Master of Science in Athletic Training with the Andrews Institute means I could do the whole path in one place instead of transferring for the master's.
Off the floor I carry a 3.85 unweighted and 4.16 weighted GPA and I am on the honor roll.
