NC State Football Recruiting Update – June 16th, 2018

Published

on

The world of NC State football recruiting has been a whirlwind the past two weeks, seeing 6 players to commit to run with the Wolfpack since June 1st, and it doesn’t show signs to be slowing down. Here are few notes:

3-star 2019 Offensive Guard Ikem Ekwonu (6’4″/290) will be announcing his college decision today at Noon.

247Sports ranks Ekwonu (Providence Day School/Charlotte, NC) as the #19 Offensive Guard in the 2019 class, and the #16 overall player in the state of North Carolina. Ekwonu took an unofficial visit to NC State this past Thursday, and was originally offered a scholarship by the Wolfpack on February 13th. Expect Ekwonu to commit to NC State today. 5 of the experts over at 247Sports have cast their crystal ball predictions, and all 5 picked NC State.

4-star 2019 Defensive Tackle Joshua Harris (6’4″/316) was at NC State Camp yesterday, marking the third time he’s been on campus in the past 1 week!

Rivals ranks Harris as the #141 overall player, the #7 defensive tackle, and #4 player in the state of North Carolina in the 2019 recruiting class.

Harris plays for Person High in Roxboro, North Carolina. NC State was the first school to offer Harris back on June 17th of last year.

Back on May 31, Harris revealed his Top-5 of NC State, Georgia, Tennessee, UNC and Ohio State.

All signs also point to Harris eventually committing to NC State, with 5 of 5 247Sports crystal ball predictions pointing that direction.

Signs are that he could announce by the end of the month.

4-star 2019 Athlete J.R. Walker is transferring from Northeastern High School (Elizabeth City, NC) to Clayton High School (Clayton, NC). In the past, Walker has made it clear that NC State is at the top of his list, and he continues to affirm that. Walker will be joining 4-star NC State commit Savion Jackson (DE) at Clayton.

247Sports ranks Walker as the #163 overall player in the 2019 class, the #13 Athlete, and the #7 player in the state of North Carolina.

At Northeastern last season, Walker rushed for over 1,019 yards (14.4 yards per carry) and intercepted 7 passes (Free Safety).

Once again, all signs point to Walker eventually committing to NC State, with 4 of 4 247Sports crystal ball predictions pointing towards the Wolfpack.
