Laney College has a 90% transfer and graduation rate thanks to Coach John Beam’s efforts. He develops top prospects who are wanted by other colleges and the NFL.
Pierce, too, found a better opportunity after a great season at Laney. In February 2020, Lincoln University announced that it had signed Kentrell Pierce to their 2020 squad.
However, the pandemic has stalled both education and sports, so Lincoln hasn’t updated its roster yet. It’s unlikely that Pierce saw any playtime at Lincoln yet. Meanwhile, his social media shows he is spending time with his family and hyping Last Chance U.
