Notes

  • After a stellar performance against Notre Dame, True Freshman Juice Vereen saw a decrease in playing time against VMI. Against the Irish, he played in 46% of the snaps, he only played in 17% against VMI.
  • Center Dylan McMahon only played in 12 snaps before leaving the game with an injury. Redshirt Sophomore Lyndon Cooper started the game at Left Guard, which is significant, because he had been battling Redshirt Sophomore Anthony Carter Jr. for the starting job there. When McMahon went down, Cooper moved over to Center.
  • It’s fascinating how NC State is using Redshirt Freshman Jacarrius Peak as a blocker at Tight End, playing 16 snaps there.
  • Tight End Trent Pennix has seen his snaps increase each game (6, 23, 28), and Tight End Christopher Toudle has seen his snaps decrease every game (36, 36, 2).
  • Running Back Jordan Houston has seen his snaps decrease in each game (40, 35, 16), and Sophomore Running Back Michael Allen played 22 snaps against VMI, which was his highest total of the season.

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. will Take an Official Visit at NC State Next Week

Published

on

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. (6’1″/195) confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next week beginning on May 7th.

After receiving an offer from NC State yesterday, it didn’t take him long to set up the visit.

Martin Jr. is familiar with NC State, because he was recruited by Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson before he left West Virginia to come to Raleigh. Even though he never coached him, a relationship was established.

Martin Jr.’s connections to NC State are deeper than that. Former NC State Cornerback Derrek Pitts, who is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs, is his cousin.

This past year, Martin Jr. recorded 45 tackles, 2 interceptions and 6 pass breakups for Akron, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. His PFF Grade was 68.9.

In 2022, he had 53 tackles, 1 interception and 1 pass breakup, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. Martin Jr.’s PFF Grade was 60.9.

In 2019, as a Freshman for West Virginia, Martin Jr. earned PFF Freshman All-American honors, recording a grade of 70.6, with 50 tackles and 3 pass breakups.
