Why NC State? “The first time I went down there I went down for the Clemson vs NC State game, and just the way the coaches interacted with the players on the sideline and the way the coaches interacted with me I just felt like when I got there I was part of a family instantly and I wasn’t just another number at a school or another number on the team. I felt very involved in the team already even though I am not even on this team yet.”
Who Did He Pick NC State Over? Massachusetts and Navy
IPS Take On Anthony Smith: Smith is a big-play receiver that managed to average an amazing 26.2 yards per reception as a senior, with a long of 95 yards.
Smith will need to add some size, but like Jalen Coit, has deep threat potential and with time should develop into a receiver that should be able to stretch the field.
He has a high ceiling and resembles former Wolfpacker Owen Spencer out of high school.
