PI EXCLUSIVE: 4-Star WR Porter Rooks Talks Commitment to NC State

4-Star 2020 Wide Receiver Porter Rooks (6’2″/189) committed to NC State last night, and I had the chance to catch up with him and get his thoughts on his reasons why.

What was it about NC State that led you to commit so early in the process?

“NC State is home. Each visit felt like a home away from home. I can’t even describe the vibe up in Raleigh.

What do you think of the job Coach McDonald’s has done with Harmon, Meyers and the rest of the receivers?

“Coach McDonald’s (Wide Receiver’s Coach) resume speaks for itself. Kelvin Harmon has had great success. Jakobi Meyers developed into a NFL receiver from being a Quarterback. Emeka Emezie has had some early success.”

What is your impression of how NC State is doing on the recruiting trail? Did the success of the 2019 class influence your decision?

“Definitely. #Pack19 isn’t just a recruiting class, it’s a family. When I realized that, I knew that was the culture I wanted to be a part of.”

Are you going to be actively trying to get the best to come to Raleigh?

No doubt. We are building something special.

What have your thoughts been on experiencing a game in Carter-Finley Stadium?

“Nothing like it. Wolfpack Nation loves their football and I can’t wait to be apart of it!”
