Why NC State? “I just liked everything about it -- the facilities, the academics, just all of it. Coach Goebbel recruited me and he’s a good coach. He just knows what’s best for me and I know he’s going to help me out, and we’re going to do some great things.

State has a lot to offer. They send people to the league. They help everybody out and it’s not just about football. It’s about making bonds and relationships with the players, so that’s a good thing.”

IPS Take On Ezemdi Udoh: Raw, ceiling, and upside are the buzz words with Udoh.  He has some terrific bloodlines with a brother who was recently drafted into the NFL out of Elon as an OL and a sister playing collegiate basketball at Wake Forest.  Udoh is a big kid coming out of HS with a frame to add plenty of size, so it’s possible he could grow into an OL. 

Either way, the combination of size and raw athleticism should make Udoh a terrific blocker in the Wolfpack’s offense down the road.
