NC State just landed a huge commitment from UC Irvine center Kyle Evans, who led the nation in blocks this past season.

The 6-foot-10, 210-pounder led Division I with 115 blocks, and did it while being able to stay on the floor and play 29 minutes a night for the Big West champs.

He averaged 12.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and was First-Team All-Big West and the Big West Defensive Player of the Year.

Evans was on campus this week for an official visit and picked NC State over Marquette, Cal, and USC.

Inside Pack Sports will have more shortly from Evans on his decision so stay tuned!
