Kobe Smith Decommits From NC State

Back on December 1st 3-star Defensive Tackle Kobe Smith (Lawrenceville, GA) committed to NC State.  Today he took to Twitter to announce that he was decommitting from NC State.

Smith also holds offers from Arkansas, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas St., Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Mississippi St., Missouri, Nebraska, UNC, Tennessee, Wake Forest, and Virginia Tech.

You have to wonder if his Archer High School teammate Donta Evans, who has been an NC State linebacker target, got into his head. Evans recently announced that he will be announcing his decision on August second, and drilled down his list to Kentucky, Ole Miss, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisville and Auburn. Smith holds offers from four of the six schools on Evans list.

Losing Smith is a big blow to the 2016 NC State football recruiting class.
