NC State Football Recruiting Update: June 24, 2018

4-Star 2019 running back Zonovan Knight was at NC State yesterday for the second straight day, marking at least his 4th visit in the past month. The stud running back out of Southern Nash (Bailey, NC) is a former Duke Commit, and at this point looks like a very strong NC State lean.

Rivals ranks Knight as the #181 overall player, the #9 running back, and the #8 player in the state of North Carolina in 2019.

4-Star 2020 wide receiver Josh Downs (5’10”/165), the son of former NC State running back Gary Downs, took an unofficial visit to NC State yesterday.

Back in April, Downs already declared NC State to be his leader. Rivals ranks Downs as the #218 overall player in 2020. The speedy Wide Receiver out of North Gwinnett (Suwannee, GA) also holds offers from Boston College, UNC, Michigan, Syracuse, West Virginia and others.

3-star Offensive Tackle Triston Miller (6’6”/275), who is ranked by Rivals as the best offensive lineman in the state of North Carolina in 2019, took an Official Visit to NC State this weekend.

Rivals ranks him as the #29 cornerback in the 2019 class, and the #30 overall player in the state of Georgia. NC State made Burrell’s Top-7 back in early May. The Georgia standout has already taken official visits to Florida and Tennessee. Burrell is teammates with 4-Star 2020 Wide Receiver Josh Downs, who we mentioned was also in Raleigh this weekend.

Burrell will likely make his decision before the start of the footballs season, and is choosing between NC State, Florida, Tennessee and Auburn.
