Here are a couple of NC State football recruiting tidbits of news that I have failed to share here recently:

2017 WR Michael Harley Jr.  

Scout’s Corey Bender reports that NC State and Syracuse are the two front runners for 3-star 2017 Wide Receiver Michael Harley Jr. (5’10″/170) out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“Syracuse and NC State are the two front runners for Michael Harley Jr.  They are the two schools showing the most love.  He has developed a great relationship with the coaches.  Miami was his favorite school growing up, and they have offered, but they are definitely trailing Syracuse and NC State.  Duke is another school that is really recruiting him hard. (Scout)

2016 DT Dexter Lawrence

It was a big deal when 5-star Defensive Tackle Dexter Lawrence attended NC State’s season opener against Troy.  It was an even bigger deal that Lawrence was in Carter-Finley for a second straight weekend against Eastern Kentucky this past Saturday.  Lawrence is the #3 overall player in the 2016 recruiting class according to Rivals, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina.

Here are highlights of Lawrence from his games against Apex and Panther Creek earlier this year.

2016 LB Brock Miller

NC State 3-star Linebacker commit Brock Miller will be taking his official visit to NC State on Halloween when the Wolfpack will face the Clemson Tigers.  Miller committed to NC State back on July 30th.

2016 WR Myles Dorn

NC State is still hoping to land a wide receiver in the 2016 class.  Myles Dorn, the brother of Wolfpack Shooting Guard Torin Dorn, is one of the receivers that NC State has on their radar, and he is planning on taking an official visit to Raleigh on October 3rd when NC State will be playing Louisville.  This is also the day that the Men’s Basketball Team will be playing in the Tailgate Tip-Off outside prior to the kickoff.
