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.

4-Star Michigan State RB Commit is Planning an Official Visit to NC State

Published

on

4-Star 2024 Running Back Anthony Carrie (5’11″/195) is verbally committed to Michigan State, but after speaking with him, he informed me that he is looking to take an Official Visit to NC State.

Carrie verbally committed to the Spartans on June 24th, but that didn’t stop the Wolfpack from extending him a scholarship offer on September 21st.

While Carrie doesn’t have an Official Visit to Raleigh officially scheduled, he is planning on taking one, and November 4th could be a possibility.

Sophomore NC State Nose Tackle Brandon Cleveland went to Carollwood Day High School in Tampa, Florida, which is where Carrie goes as well. Carrie told me that Cleveland, his former teammate, is recruiting him hard, trying to get him to flip his commitment.

As a Junior last year, Carrie averaged 6.5 yards per carry, and collected 16 rushing touchdowns.

NC State WR Target Christian Zachary Decommits from UVA

Published

on

NC State 2024 3-Star Wide Receiver target Christian Zachary (6’3″/190) announced today that he has officially decommitted from UVA.

Zachary originally verbally committed to UVA back on June 6th. That didn’t deter NC State from offering him on June 10th.

This past weekend, Zachary took an Official Visit to NC State.

Zachary plays for Calhoun County in Saint Matthews, South Carolina, and ON3 and Rivals rank him as the #13 overall player in the state of South Carolina in 2024.

The writing is on the wall. I don’t expect it to be long before we get an announcement that Zachary has flipped his commitment from UVA to NC State.

Could NC State Flip a UVA WR Commit in the Near Future?

Published

on

NC State beat UVA in Charlottesville this past weekend, and they might just flip a 2024 UVA verbal commit in the near future.

3-Star Wide Receiver Christian Zachary (6’3″/190) will be taking an Official Visit to NC State this weekend, starting Friday, when the Wolfpack hosts Louisville.

Zachary verbally committed to Virginia back on June 6th. With that being said, NC State recruiting analysts for 247Sports and ON3 both predict that Zachary will flip his commitment from the Cavaliers to the Wolfpack.

UVA and NC State aren’t the only two school to extend offers to Zachary. He also holds offers from Duke, App St., Cincinnati, Liberty, Charlotte, Georgia Tech, ECU and others.

NC State already has a historic Wide Receiver class, with three 4-star verbal commits already. The possible addition of Zachary would be the cherry on top.
