Pearsall will be entering his fifth collegiate season. He began his career at Arizona State in 2019. After 3 seasons with the Sun Devils, he entered the transfer portal and signed with Florida. The 2020 season, which was just 4 games for Arizona State, does not count against players’ eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Florida’s 2022 regular-season finale at Florida State, Pearsall had 5 catches for 148 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Gators will hope to see more of that in the 2023 campaign.
