Hi all,
I have seen "unwavering commitment", "unwavering support". But I wonder if I can use unwavering to describe a person such as this "Despite the resistance, he remained unwavered?"
 
Try this.

Despite the blowback, he didn't change his opinion. In fact, he dug in his heels.

Or:

Despite the blowback, he didn't change his opinion.In fact, he doubled down.

In fact, you could use "unwavering" there.

His commitment to XY was unwavering. He didn't back down. He didn't give an inch.

Something like that.
 
The adjective "unwavering" usuallly goes with support and commitment, but not a person. A person can be "undaunted/unfazed", but not "unwavered".
 
Hi, all.

I have seen "unwavering commitment" no comma here and "unwavering support". But I wonder if I can use "unwavering" to describe a person, such as this in "Despite the resistance, he remained unwavered".
Please note my corrections above, especially to your punctuation.
