2018 DE Derrick Eason to Sign With NC State in February

Wednesday was the early national signing day, and NC State signed twenty-one of their twenty-two 2018 football commitments.

They came into the day expecting to sign all 22 of their commitments, but defensive end Derrick Eason (6’4”/240) decided that he wanted to wait until February to sign with the rest of his Norview (Norfolk, VA) teammates.

All signs are that Eason is still committed to NC State, but here are a couple of thoughts.

• He took his official to NC State this past weekend, and the coaches thought he was going to sign.
• Since he didn’t sign, NC State could wonder if he will flake on his commitment, and go searching for another defensive end to sign in February. Eason does hold an offer from Virginia Tech.
• Since he didn’t sign, you better believe that other schools are going to start flocking to Eason like vultures. Other schools experienced players flip on them on Wednesday, and they are looking for people to fill those holes.

Eason might still be a solid Wolfpack Commit, but these are scenarios worth considering.
