With the commitment of Boletepeli, NC State continues to bring in the best talent in the Triangle.

Joseph Boletepeli is the sixth Triangle high school football player to commit to NC State from the Class of 2018. Joining him: Ricky Person (Heritage), Trent Pennix & Alim McNeill (Sanderson), Tyler Williams (Southeast Raleigh) & Devin Carter (Clayton). #HSOT
