What stood out about NC State?
It was probably the two biggest things. 

I've known them for a long time. I think they were my second offer so I've been talking with coach Kitchings and coach Doeren for a long time... and building the chemistry.

One of the things that intrigued me was playing time because I'm really big on that. I looked at every college to see where I fit, but NC State is pretty open right now. I'll be able to play pretty early.

Also just the family thing.  My mom can come to every game without any headache. If I was a couple of hours away she'd have to worry about gas, food, and hotel, but she can just come up the street and go back home easy.

Was the close proximity alluring?
It's an important thing. 

It's not the same for every recruit but I feel like some recruits after a couple of months pass may question the decision of being too far away from home.

I feel like I made the right decision.

How was the recent visit to NC State?
It was good. 

I was able to chill with some of the players there and recruits also. 

I relaxed with coach Doeren and coach Kitchings.

How often have you been to Carter-Finley Stadium?
I've been to a lot of games, and that's the school I visited the most out of all my schools.
It's going to feel good because one thing I love is I'll be playing alongside people I know and other recruits I was recruited with. I've built a good relationship with all the recruits and players.

How nice is it to have a Clayton presence at NC State?
I feel like it's good for the fans because the people from here, it's like we are playing for them.

Your message to NC State fans.
You are getting a hard-working player.

I'm willing to do anything to play at a high level. I'm ready to get in there and represent ya'll in the best way.

Which recruits are you going to recruit?
They are probably going to see this and laugh, Josh [Harris]‍ and CJ [Clark]‍. 

There's a couple of other dudes right now I'm thinking about. There is this o-lineman I'm trying to recruit.

But we're great friends even if they come here or not.
