PI EXCLUSIVE: RB Nick Treco Breaks Down His Commitment to NC State

Published

5 years ago

on

Yesterday 2-Star 2019 Running Back Nick Treco committed to NC State as a preferred walk-on.

I caught up with him shortly afterwards, and he broke down it all came about, his reasons why

On NC State’s interest in him…

Playing at Mallard Creek Coach, (Eddie) Faulkner (Tight Ends Coach) reached out and invited me to the FSU game. When I met him in person, he almost immediately offered me a chance as a Preferred Walk-On. He told me the 2019 class was very good, but still wanted me to come and play running back. He told me I reminded him of (Brady) Bodine and that I would have a chance to compete, play special teams and to potentially earn a scholarship over time.

On visiting NC State

I went back for a individual meeting and really liked everything I saw and spent time with Coach Kitchings (Running Backs) and he told me he liked my game and that he really wanted me in the RB room.

On making the decision to commit…

I had other scholarship opportunities and other Preferred Walk-On opportunities, but I want to play with and against the best in college football. I spoke with Coach Faulkner last week and he said he wanted me to commit and be a part of this 2019 class.

On the type of player he is…
Like Christian McCaffrey, Julian Edelman and Alvin Karmara, I am a multi-dimensional running back. I can run between the tackles, catch the ball out of the backfield or play in the slot.

Some schools recruited me as a slot receiver and some as a running back. Some even asked me if I wanted to play safety, since I was a two-way starter in High School.

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.

4-Star 2025 Safety Jontae Gilbert (6’1″/180) confirmed with me that he has locked in an Official Visit to NC State for the weekend of September 27-29, and he plans for it to be his last Official Visit.

Back in July of 2022, Gilbert committed to Ohio St., but last July he decommitted from the Buckeyes.

Gilbert also has Official Visits scheduled for UCF, South Carolina and USC.

At one point, Gilbert was a 5-star prospect, but now he is a consensus 4-star prospect, and a consensus Top-275 player. Rivals ranks him as the #70 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, and the #8 player in the state of Georgia.

NC State offered Gilbert in April of last year.

Recently, he has taken unofficial visits to, or been visited by Louisville, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia St., Oregon, Clemson, Texas and South Carolina.

While he doesn’t have an Official Visit set up with Georgia, the Bulldogs are obviously a big player in Gilbert’s recruitment.

Gilbert plays for Douglass High School in Atlanta, Georgia.
