5 Star Quavaris Crouch Says NC State Stands Out

Published

on

5-star 2019 Running Back/Linebacker Quavaris Crouch (6’2″/224) just won a North Carolina state championship with Harding, and now he is refocusing his attention to his recruitment according to Adam Friedman of Rivals.  Crouch told Friedman that NC State is one of the schools that stands out to him.

“I haven’t been talking to many coaches lately,” he said. “Over this break I’ll start getting into things with coaches and colleges. Most of the ones like AlabamaGeorgiaClemsonN.C. StateSouth Carolina, and Michigan stand out. I’m just going to take my time and see where I want to go. (Rivals)

Crouch took an unofficial visit to NC State earlier this year when they beat Louisville under the lights on a Thursday night. The NC State coaches were on the sidelines taking in his game on December 1st.

“The coaches that come out to my games especially over the past few weeks have been really special,” Crouch said. “I like that they’ve taken the time out of their scheduled to come see me. That’s really special. That’s going to hold some weight because they really care and have been supporting me. (Rivals)

He has taken unofficial visits to Clemson (2x), South Carolina (2x), NC State, and Florida this year.

Crouch gets all of the buzz for what he does at the running back position. He is the #1 running back in the 2019 class according to Rivals, and the #2 overall player in the class. With that being said, Crouch ultimately has to determine which side of the ball he wants to play on at the next level.

“Trying to figure out which side of the ball I want to play on in college is a big thing for me right now,” he said. “I could go either way right now. On defense you can have some longevity, not take so many hits, and make a lot of money. I like offense a lot too. I’m just going to let God guide me.” (Rivals)

2018 Defensive Back Malik Dunlap is a 2018 NC State commit, and one of Crouch’s teammates at Harding, and the Wolfpack is actively pursuing another one of his teammates, 2018 4-star Offensive Lineman Jovaughn Gwyn.

Crouch just earned North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year honors this week.

Crouch is a major priority for NC State, and I’m sure they would be willing for him to play anywhere he pleases.

PI EXCLUSIVE: 3-Star S NC State Commit Tristan Teasdell Talks Commitment

Published

on

NC State picked up a verbal commitment from 2025 Safety Tristan Teasdell (6’1″/175) yesterday. I caught up with him to get a few thoughts on his commitment.

You received an offer from NC State at the end of March. How did the Wolfpack manage to make such an impression so quickly?

I feel like I fit in there scheme very well. They let their Safeties play free. They can come down hill and can also be very rangy! Another big part was the Coaching Staff. They talk to me almost every other day, so we have a great relationship.

Who is your primary recruiter? What is your relationship like with the coaches?

My primary Recruiter was Coach DeForest and Coach Aughtry-Lindsay. We have a great relationship.

Committing this early gives you a chance to become a recruiter. Are you looking forward to helping build NC State’s 2025 class?

I’m most definitely ready to built this 2025 class!

NC State has already made quite the impression. They only offered him on April 24th. Getting an Official Visit scheduled a week after offering a player is a good sign.

When Pavey released his Top-8 back in February, NC State was obviously on the list. It consisted of Miami (OH), Toledo, Boston College, West Virginia, Pitt, Cincinnati, Indiana and Purdue. Wisconsin is also new to the scene, offering Pavey on April 21st.

As a Junior, Pavey had 46 tackles 7.5 sacks and 9 tackles for loss.
