NC State’s Kevin Concepcion is an ON3 Midseason True Freshman All-American

ON3 just released their Midseason True Freshman All-Americans, and NC State Wide Receiver Kevin Concepcion made the team. Here’s what they had to say about him.

Charles Power: Kevin Concepcion has emerged as the clear No. 1 receiver for NC State through six games. He has triple the receptions of any other player for the Wolfpack, and he currently has 31 catches for 347 yards and four touchdowns. Concepcion has really continued to increase his productivity over the course of the past couple of weeks. He had a big two-touchdown game in a close win at Virginia two weeks ago and was a key difference-maker in NC State’s win, a close win, over Marshall on Saturday with 102 yards and two touchdowns. So he’s had two two-touchdown games in really big spots, helping NC State to tight victories. Has really shown a high skill level thus far.

Concepcion is a very good route-runner, has shown natural hands, he can pick up yards after the catch. A guy who who came in with a level of polish that lends itself well to making an early impact. So receiver was an area where Dave Doeren and his staff have really been looking to upgrade the talent through recruiting the last couple of cycles. Concepcion looks to be a big hit for the Wolfpack. He was an in-state prospect from Charlotte, played at a very talented high school program, Julius Chambers, and has taken off really quickly in his freshman year and looks to be a top target for the Wolfpack moving forward for probably the next several seasons, but for sure this season.
