Chris Ingram Talks NC State Commitment

Earlier tonight 3-Star 2017 Cornerback Chris Ingram, the #9 player in the state of North Carolina, committed to NC State.  I talked with him to give him a chance to share how the whole thing went down.

Yesterday Ingram was at the Alpha Wolf Showcase at NC State with a lot of other top Wolfpack prospects.

“When I left there yesterday everything just felt right. Everything went good,” said Ingram. “My workout went good. Talking with the coaches went good. The coaches were asking me if I was ready to commit. I had been thinking about it for the past couple of weeks. On the way home my mom said she was thinking I should commit. Then I said “I think it’s about time.”

Ingram left campus without committing, but couldn’t shake the feeling all night long.

“I was thinking about committing all night long after I left. I wanted to commit yesterday, but I wanted to take more time to think about it,” said Ingram. “But earlier this afternoon I called up my recruiting coach and told him I was ready to commit and then I called the head coach and told him the same thing.”

This is one of the biggest decisions of this young mans life and he is excited to have made it, but he’s especially excited to be able to focus now.

“The recruitment process is a whole different lifestyle. It’s something I couldn’t have explained until I experienced it,” said Ingram. “I wasn’t really expecting it until I went through it. During school I would always get mail. When coaches were out visiting, I would talk to three or four coaches a day. Every single day I would get called out of class just to talk to a coach. I enjoyed it a whole lot, but at some point you want it to die down so you can just focus.  Now that I’ve made my decision I can just relax. I can now just focus on playing ball and my school work.”
