Charlie Pearson, Johns Hopkins Balancing Football, Academics, and Service

Inside the Headset with the AFCA

In this episode, we sit down with Charlie Pearson, senior offensive tackle at Johns Hopkins University and member of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Charlie helped lead the Blue Jays to a 12-2 record, a Centennial Conference Championship, and a historic trip to the 2024 NCAA Division III Semifinals — all while maintaining a 3.87 GPA as a Public Health major. Recognized as the Centennial Conference Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year, he's the definition of excellence on and off the field.

Off the gridiron, Charlie serves as a certified EMT responding to 911 calls in Baltimore, mentors youth through Blue Jays for Baltimore, supports returning citizens through Turnaround Tuesday, and leads fundraising efforts for children's health with HopThon.

Join us as we explore how Charlie balances football, academics, and community service — and what it means to be a student-athlete making an impact beyond the game.
