IPS Take On Calvin Hart Jr.: NC State needed to land impact linebackers in this class, and Calvin Hart Jr. has the ability to contribute right away.
Lining up at linebacker for American Heritage, one of the top programs in Florida, Hart Jr. consistently made plays. He can play both linebacker positions with his size, strength, and speed.
On film, Hart shows outstanding instincts. He can shed blocks and run sideline-to-sideline.
Will he redshirt in 2018? That remains to be seen, but he's a player who could at least contribute on special teams as a true freshman.
