Ricky Person announced Wednesday night that he would commit to the Wolfpack! Ricky had some great things to say about his recruitment in an article posted by Jon Stout of High School OT.

“I’ve always loved State anyways; they’ve been recruiting me for two years,” Person said. “They’re like family to me anyway because I also have family that goes to State.”

Person has discussed playing running back or slot receiver with NC State recruiting coordinator and running backs coach Des Kitchings during his recruitment, but said he wants to do whatever it takes to get on the field – no matter the position.

“It doesn’t matter to me, as long as I’m on the field and doing what I love,” he said. “I love to run the ball, I love to catch the ball; I love to hit people – I like to do everything.” High School OT

Ricky transferred from Franklinton High School after his sophomore season to Heritage High in Wake Forest. In his junior campaign, he rushed for 774 yards, 11 touchdowns, on 145 carries. Defensively he recorded 17 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble.

NC State will welcome his versatility and willingness to fit in any way he can to help the Pack win! Check out his highlights below! Welcome to the Pack Ricky!

North Carolina High School Athletes Will Now be Able to Profit off NIL

Published

on

NIL has shaken up the college sports world, and now it will be shaking up the high school sports world in North Carolina (NCHSAA), becoming one of 27 states to approve the ability for high school athletes to profit off their Name, Image and Likeness.

This will officially take place beginning July 1.

In order for a student athlete to begin this process, they will have to take a course on NIL, and their parents, coaches and athletic director will as well. Schools and coaches will not be able to represent the student in NIL Deals, and they will also not be allowed to use NIL as a way to draw athletes to their school.

There are restrictions on what student athletes can profit off of though.

The NCHSAA will prohibit student-athletes from entering into NIL deals with products around adult entertainment, alcohol, cannabis, controlled substances, firearms and ammunition, gambling, prescription drugs, as well as tobacco, vaping, and other Nicotine-related products. Athletes cannot affiliate themselves with a specific school, conference, school district, the NCHSAA, or the NFHS through a NIL deal.

PI EXCLUSIVE: 4-Star DB Asaad Brown Breaks Down Commitment to NC State

Published

on

4-Star 2024 Cornerback Asaad Brown verbally committed to NC State back on March 22nd. I caught up with Brown, and got his take on why he decided to run with the Wolfpack.

They’ve been extremely consistent in letting me know I’m a priority. We’ve built a relationship for a few years. I feel extremely comfortable with their plans for me.

The position I’m coming in for allows me to be versatile and allows me to make plays in a variety ways.

I just need to continuously work on my craft and stay ready so I don’t have to get ready. My main goal is to come in and be able to contribute as a true freshman.

My connection is great [with the NC State coaches]. I feel like we are family. Everyone brings good energy and vibes when I’m around. North Carolina is my home state, so it just all makes sense. It just feels right.
