Barrons Standout Signs Letter Of Intent To Attend Divison I School Next Year
WOODBRIDGE, NJ–On Wednesday, GMC Hoops learned from an article in the Star-Ledger that Kyle Pearson of Woodbridge High School has signed a letter of intent to play for Farleigh Dickinson University next fall. Â The four year varsity player at WHS selected FDU from a number of schools including NJIT, Colgate, St. Francis, Delaware, and Princeton.
Pearson leads a talented Woodbridge squad that includes the likes of Keith Hughes Jr., and football standouts Kyle Anderson, Anthony Nyers, Mika Graham, and Duquan Bailey. Â Last season, Pearson averaged nearly a double per game with just under 15 points and 10 rebounds per contest. Â In 2010-11, the Barrons were 13-13, reached the round of 16 in the GMCT tourney, and qualified for the North Jersey Section 2 Group IV state tournament. Â Woodbridge finished tied for third in the GMC White.
Pearson, a 6’4 senior forward, who is known for his athletic ability and sensational dunks, has worked hard this off-season to broaden his game. Â He has improved his jump shot considerably since last season, especially from three point range. Â He has also been handling the basketball more while Anderson and Bailey play football. Â Over the summer, Woodbridge competed in the Rahway Summer League, and this fall, the Barrons have been playing in the East Coast Conditioning Fall League in North Edison.
