NAME: Keyon Lesane‍ ‍   
POSITION: Wide Receiver
RANK: ***
VITALS: 6'1/180/4.5

NOTES: NC State landed a big commitment on Friday from Butler (NC) wideout Keyon Lesane, the Wolfpack's top target at slot receiver in the 2019 class.  Lesane picked the Wolfpack over offers from North Carolina, Syracuse, West Virginia, and ECU among others.

A dynamic playmaker, the 6-foot, 185-pounder has been timed at 4.47 in the 40-yard dash and understands what his role will be in college.

"I'm explosive," Lesane said.  "I can turn small plays into big plays.  I'm reliable with my hands, but I want to work on my acceleration even more. If I can get that where I need to be I'll be good to go."

On film, the kid makes play after play.  He's quick and elusive in and out of his breaks, has great hands, and turns into a running back after the catch. 

He's strong enough to run through contact and has breakaway speed, which makes him extremely dangerous matched up against linebackers and safeties.

What stands out the most is how physical he is.  Lesane shows a willingness to block, and that's critical for a player slotted to line up inside the hashes.

He is also a potential option at cornerback where he is physical and disruptive with his ball skills.

Here is your chance to catch the recent Wolfpack commitment in action!
