Colburn Pearce (2019)

Basketball

As an elite athlete in two sports, he had a choice between basketball and football for his post-secondary pursuit. Colburn Pearce opted for basketball and was a rookie member of his hometown UNBC Timberwolves in the 2018-19 Canada West season.

In his final year of high school basketball, Pearce led the Duchess Park Condors to city and zone championships and was named MVP in both events. He later earned an invitation to play in the B.C. High School All-Star Game.

Pearce was also heavily recruited for university football. As a running back, safety and kicker, he powered the Condors to the P.G. Bowl championship in his Grade 11 year and went on to play for the Langley Rams of the B.C. Junior Football Conference in the summer of 2017.

Pearce is the son of Matt Pearce, a Prince George Sports Hall of Fame inductee in 1999 for football.
