Published

on

3-Star 2025 Defensive End Colby Cronk (6’3″/245) connfirmed with me that he will be taking an unofficial visit to NC State this week on Thursday and Friday. He also confirmed with me that he has locked in his first Official Visit, and it will be with the Wolfpack on June 7th.

I caught up with Cronk to get his take on NC State’s recruitment of him prior to showing up on campus later this week.

What did it mean to you to pick up an offer from NC State?

It meant a lot to be offered by NC State, because they are a major Power 4 school, with a history of successful football programs.

How many times have you visited NC State before, or is this the 1st time? What other schools have you visited, or have plans to visit? Do you have any Official Visits scheduled?

I’ve been up to NC State once before, and this upcoming visit will be my second. I’ve previously visited Wake Forest, and USF, but don’t have future plans to visit other schools. I have an official visit with NC State in the Summer, and as of right now, it is the only one.

What’s your relationship been like with NC State since they started recruiting you? How have they prioritized you? What’s their message to you?

My relationship has been good with NC State. I talk to them at least every week, and Coach Wiles has said he likes my film and is excited to get me up there this upcoming week, and I know I am as well.

When do you hope to make a college decision by?

I don’t have a set time planned to make a college decision, but I hope to make one pretty soon.

Where does NC State currently stand in your recruitment? Who else stands out?

NC State is definitely one of my top schools. A couple others would be Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Wake Forest, Houston, USF, and a couple of others.

_______

NC State offered Cronk back on November 8th. He also holds offers from USF, Duke, Iowa St., Pitt, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Houston and others.

As a Junior last season at Flagler Palm Coast (Palm Coast, FL), Cronk had 75 tackles, 27 tackles for loss, 12 sacks and 46 QB Hurries. He also rushed for 5 touchdowns.
