Chris Ingram: NC State Recruiting the Hardest

Mooresville Cornerback Chris Ingram has become one of the top players in the state of North Carolina in the 2017 recruiting class.  Back in June, Ingram camped at NC State and told us it was a great learning experience.

“Camp was good.  I was working out with Coach Barlow and Coach White,” said Ingram.  “We got to learn some of their coverages and how their system works.  I learned a whole lot and it was a lot of fun.”

Back in 2014, the first school to start recruiting the 3-star prospect was the NC State Wolfpack.

“NC State was the first school to start recruiting me.  It was after my freshman year, and I wasn’t expecting anybody to come after me at all at that point,” said Ingram.  “They came up to my Spring Practice and actually offered me that day.  That was a real humbling moment.”

After NC State came ECU, and then this summer Duke, UNC and Clemson have followed suit.  Despite all of the company, Ingram says that NC State is still recruiting him harder than any of the other schools.

“NC State has been recruiting me the hardest out of all the schools that are recruiting me,” said Ingram.  “They haven’t slowed down.  They actually just keep recruiting me harder.  New schools keep coming in, and NC State just keeps recruiting harder.”

Despite the fact that Ingram grew up a die hard UNC fan, and lived in Chapel Hill prior to moving to Mooresville, he says that he is still wide open at this point.  The main things that he is looking for in a school are the coaches and the academics.

“I look for chemistry in the coaches, how they coach, and how they work with their players,” said Ingram.  “Then I look at the academics.  I look at the graduation rates and acceptance rates.  Location would honestly come last.”

Ingram told us that he plans on making a visit back to NC State sometime soon in July and hopes to make it to Family Day on the 24th if possible.
