CB coach George Barlow talked to the media after practice. Above is the full video and below is the bulleted highlights.

  • Junior Keshawn Miller stood out at the camp they saw him at. Liked his playmaking ability, his passion and physicality. Very explosive for his size. Small, but plays with a chip on his shoulder
  • Teshaun Smith (Freshman CB) has been a pleasant surprise. Type of guy team has been focusing on bringing in. Taller, longer, but can transition.
  • Smith was pretty thin, but handled his body transition from HS to college really well.
  • Smith has been one of the more consistent guys in the secondary so far. Really impressive for true freshman. Learning defense and showcasing athleticism.
  • Wanted to see Nick McCloud (Junior CB) improve overall understanding of defense and show more confidence. He’s done that. Made sacrifices off the field. Biggest thing is confidence and poise. Need to see no fear, no panic. He’s done that.
  • RS SR Maurice Trowell’s move from WR to CB has been up and down. Green at the position, but has natural ability. When he’s on, he’s as good as anybody out there. Just needs to continue to learn defensive mentality and scheme. Continues to get better everyday.
  • Game him confidence to see Johnathan Alston’s transition from WR to CB last season.

NC State offered Stephen F. Austin (FCS) Transfer Defensive Tackle Brandon Lane (6’3″/300) yesterday.

Lane started in 6 of the 11 games he played in for Stephen F. Austin this past season. He finished the year with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. His PFF Grade was 74.6, which ranked 4th on the Lumberjacks Defense. His 79.9 Run Defense Grade ranked 3rd on the team. In 2022, Lane played 7 games as a reserve for Stephen F. Austin, recording 11 tackles 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Lane spent his first two collegiate seasons at South Dakota State (2000-21). In 2000, he played in 1 game. In 2021, he played in 3 games as a reserve for the Jackrabbits. The 2000 season was the Covid Year, and the 2021 season was his redshirt year. As a result, Lane still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Around a week-and-a-half ago, Lane committed to Michigan St., but then he decommitted from the Spartans on May 2nd.

I don’t think Michigan St. is necessarily off the table, and he has visited Washington and West Virginia.
