A Student-Athlete Making an Impact On and Off the Field
In this conversation, we sit down with Charlie Pearson, senior offensive tackle at Johns Hopkins University and a proud member of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
Charlie embodies what it means to be a true student-athlete, excelling in every area on the field, in the classroom, and throughout his community.
