WELLINGTON – We have something special brewing in Wolverine Country.
It is time to introduce Wellington ‘26 running back Tyree Pearson to the masses.
The Belle Glade native had a solid sophomore season in his own right. In six games, Pearson recorded the following statistics:
•68 carries, 292 yards, 1 touchdown
•15 receptions, 120 yards
•15-yard pass completion
•427 total yards
Pearson’s best individual game happened in Week 4, which was a 16-15 win over Royal Palm Beach. He registered the following:
•19 carries, 110 yards; 38-yard run
•2 receptions, 65 yards
•175 total yards
“It felt good to get that win because that’s our rivals,” Pearson said. “I came out that night, did my job, stayed focused and locked in for the dub.”
The 6-foot, 207-pound running back spoke on how his sophomore season went at Wellington and more.
“Last season went well for me,” Pearson said. “Even though we had a not-so-good record (2-8 final record in 2023), I had a good line up front. I ran the ball and I did my part.”
Right now, Pearson is in track and field mode as a shot put standout. He credits Wellington assistant coach and Belle Glade native Micanor Regis (Pahokee legend/University of Miami alum/former NFL player) for his development in track and field, as well as football.
Watch a track and field highlight from Pearson in the shot put.
“Coach Regis is a good coach,” Pearson said. “He’s gonna sit down and talk to you. He’ll let you know what you need to work on. He’s gonna make sure you’re in the weight room all day. He’s gonna take you outside. He’s gonna put you in some work and get you right.”
Pearson showed his appreciation for Wellington head coach Ross Pryor and what he has done for him as a player and person overall.
“Coach Pryor, he’s the best coach,” Pearson said. “He’s gonna work you too. He’s gonna make sure you’re good in school and out of school, even off the field. He’s gonna make sure you’re a good man.”
Pryor provided his commentary on Pearson as well.
“He’s just a hard worker and a great kid,” Pryor said. “He’s got a good head on his shoulder and isn’t one of those kids that whines and complains. He just does his job and works. I really think he is going to have a great junior year. He was hurt his freshman and sophomore years, so that’s why his production isn’t where it should be at.”
With that said, Pearson and the Wolverines are a week away from starting their spring football circuit, which will occur on the afternoon of Monday, April 29. It will last from that date until Friday, May 17, the date that Wellington’s four-team spring jamboree against Glades Central, Park Vista, and Port St. Lucie will occur at Effie C. Grear Stadium in Belle Glade.
This will be a homecoming of sorts for Pearson as he returns to the Muck next month.
“I’m going to do my job and do it as best as I can,” Pearson said.
And as we go past the spring football circuit and into both the summer offseason and upcoming fall football season, Pearson shared his goals for that.
“Look for me to put in the most work I could put in, so I could be better for this season,” Pearson said. “I want to average over a 3.0 GPA in school and get good grades. And out of school, do what I do.”
For Pearson, being a Muckstepper means a great deal to him. This is what primarily inspires the 2026 rising start to be at his best at all times.
“Coming from out of here, we don’t have that much”, Pearson said. “So to be from the Muck and represent the Muck, it means a lot. We’re coming this season. We’re coming to take over.”
