This weekend NC State hosted 4-star 2016 Inside Linebacker Elysee Mbem-Bosse on an official visit.  Mbem-Bosse included the Wolfpack in his Top-5 list back on August 9th.  I caught up with Mbem-Bosse last night to get his take on how the official visit in Raleigh went.

“It went great.  I had a great time seeing my former teammate Defensive Tackle Quentez Johnson,” said Mbem-Bosse. “I had a great time with the coaches.  I had a great time at the diner.  I had a great time meeting everybody.”

Mbem-Bosse plans on taking official visits to all of the schools on his Top-5 list (Auburn, Wake Forest, Michigan, USC, NC State), but he chose to take his first one at NC State this weekend.

“They have a great thing going at their program.  It can even get better if they recruit the right guys,” said Mbem-Bosse. “One of those guys they are trying to get is me.  They told me that I fit great into their style of play, and I would be a great contributor as soon as I got here.”

Auburn is seen as the front runner for Mbem-Bosse, unofficially visiting there more than anywhere else, but the #7 Inside Linebacker thinks highly of the Wolfpack.

“They are high up there.  It’s an amazing program.  They play a lot of incoming freshman,” said Mbem-Bosse. “Their defense is young, so imagine them a year or two from now.  It’s going to be a big obstacle going against that defense in the future.

Mbem-Bosse told me that he will make his decision before December.

Published

4-Star 2026 Wide Receiver Davion Brown (6’1″/200) took an unofficial visit to NC State today.

ON3, 247Sports and Rivals all rank Brown as a Top-250 prospect. ON3 and 247Sports both rank him in the Top-100, with 247Sports ranking him as the #16 overall player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, the #3 Wide Receiver and the #1 player in the state of Virginia.

NC State offered Brown on January 18th, and he also holds offers from Penn St., Virginia Tech, UVA, Duke, South Carolina, Boston College, Maryland, Pitt, UNC, FSU, Miami, Tennessee, Louisville, Michigan, SMU and others.

This past season, Brown had 34 receptions for 578 yards and 5 touchdowns for Trinity Episcopal in Richmond, Virginia. He also rushed the ball for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns. Those stats are already impressive for a Sophomore, but they would have been even better if he didn’t miss 4 games due to injury.
