Published

on

Former NC State Running Back Michael Allen has announced he is transferring to UNLV.

In 10 games this season, Allen rushed for 251 yards and a touchdown, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. As a True Freshman in 2022, Allen rushed for 268 yards in 7 games, averaging 5.1 yards per carry.

In 2023, Allen only averaged 5.7 carries per game. For comparison, in 2022, Allen averaged 7.6 carries. Allen probably wasn’t expecting to see his carries decrease in year 2.

Allen was a 4-star prospect (ESPN & 247Sports) in the Wolfpack’s 2022 recruiting class. ESPN ranked Allen as the #245 overall player nationally in the 2022 recruiting class, the #20 Athlete and the #7 player in the state of North Carolina (Rose/Greenville, NC).

He has two more years of eligibility, as well as his redshirt season.

Here’s a rundown of where players that have transferred from NC State have landed:

RB Michael Allen – UNLV
WR Anthony Smith – East Carolina
TE Christopher Toudle – Western Michigan
NT CJ Clark – Miami
QB MJ Morris – Maryland
WR Terrell Timmons – Colorado
WR Porter Rooks – Eastern Michigan
LB Torren Wright – Temple

I wish we still had Clark. The others for the most part did a step down in competition level. Morris may not be the starter for Maryland. Timmons is likely in a better spot for him but with all of our incoming WR, it’s not the loss it could have been.

NC State just landed a commitment from Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. (6’1”/195).

Martin Jr. began an Official Visit at NC State yesterday.

Prior to the visit, Martin Jr. was 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.

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.
