IPS Take On Derrick Eason: We are really high on Derrick Eason.

He's an jumbo athlete with a frame college coaches covet.  Eason will probably begin his career at defensive end, but we wouldn't be shocked at all to see him grow into a pass-rushing defensive tackle.
With his length and athleticism, he could be a terror inside.

Eason's motor is evident on film, and he plays with a tenacity that jumps off the tape.  He has a big-time upside and resembles Joseph Boletepeli in terms of frame and upside.

Eason didn't sign in December and Notre Dame came calling in January, but ultimately, the talented prospect chose to stick with NC State.

The Wolfpack got a lot better by signing Derrick Eason.
