A college student’s freshman year is usually filled with an adjustment to life on your own, gaining a few pounds, balancing social and academic pressures and it’s fair share of highs and lows. Now a redshirt freshman Reggie Pearson is coming off of a true freshman campaign that was eerily similar. Bucky’s 5th Quarter had the chance to speak with Reggie after practice Thursday to find out more about his growth last season, and his rise to the top of the depth chart.
Hailing from River Rouge High School in Michigan, a southwest suburb of Detroit, Pearson committed to Wisconsin at the tail end of summer 2016 as a decorated three-star recruit.
