Mbem-Bosse Breaks Down NC State Visit

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.
