2017 3-Star Quarterback Todd Centeio dropped by to visit during the Alpha Showcase this past Friday, and I caught up with him yesterday to see how it went.

“I visited NC State while they were having their camp, and had a meeting with Coach Doeren.  Coach Doeren and my head coach are actually real good friends,” said Centeio.  “I got to see the new indoor facility.  I got to put on the jersey again and take some photos.  We toured around and watched camp for a little bit.”

Back on June 17th we caught up with he former Miami commit, and he told us that he loved NC State, but yesterday he made it clear that NC State is his #1 school.  In fact, before catching his flight home on Monday, he went back by NC State to tell Coach Canada this.

“I’ve always liked NC State.  When I go there it has a real good feeling.  There’s kind of a sense of home there,” said Centeio.  “I think they care about your future past football there.  I actually went back by NC State on Monday morning before I caught my flight home and had a meeting with Coach Canada.  I told Coach Canada right there that they were my #1.”

One of the things that Centeio likes about Coach Canada is his versatility to work with the personnel that he is given.

“Coach Canada is a great coach.  Whatever quarterback he has, he fits the offense around them,” said Centeio. “Now he’s got Jacoby, and runs a lot of play action.  If I were there, he would probably run the spread and read option.  He changes the offense for whoever they have at quarterback, and I really like that.”

NC State might be Centeio’s leader at this point, but he hasn’t committed yet, and isn’t shutting down his recruitment anytime soon.

“NC State’s my #1 right now, but I’m still open to other schools.  I’m going to probably make my decision sometime next Spring.  Recruiting will really pick up for me after September 1st,” said Centeio.  “After that schools will follow me on twitter, send me direct messages, and call me.  I’m just going to sit back and wait and see how this thing plays out and see who’s interested in me.  If they are interested in me, then I’m interested in them.  But NC State is my #1.”
