COMMIT VIDEO: Rakeim Ashford
NAME: Rakeim Ashford
POSITION: Safety
RANK: NR
VITALS: 6'2/200
NOTES: NC State’s latest commitment, Rakeim Ashford, was productive in high school at Choctaw County (MS), and that translated over to his first year of junior college at Jones CC.
Ashford totaled 39 tackles, five pass breakups, and four interceptions last season, earning first-team All-MACJC honors.
On tape, it’s easy to see why NC State coveted him.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has plus speed and was used in a variety of ways. Jones played him around the line of scrimmage where he could help in run support but also as a single-high safety where he excelled in pass coverage.
With NC State’s needs at safety, Ashford is a very good, late addition to the 2020 recruiting class.
Check out the highlights below from his freshman season at Jones and his senior year at Choctaw County High School.
