Why NC State? “From just being on the phone with him every other day, during this pandemic. Doing Zoom meetings with him and coach Roper, we built a relationship and he’s more than a coach to me. He’s more like a mentor.
“He’s already teaching me things, like I want to major in business and he’s already giving me tips like where I should go and who I should talk to. I’d say I’ve definitely built a great relationship with him because he’s a real standup guy and a respectable man.”
Who Did He Pick NC State Over? Temple, Buffalo, Northern Illinois
IPS Take On Sumo- The thing that really stands out with Sumo is his versatility. He’s just as good catching the football as he is running it, and he was utilized doing both in high school. Sumo has good size and speed with good vision, and we think his skill set is a perfect fit for NC State’s offense. It’s certainly possible that he’ll see the field in some capacity fairly early in his career at NC State.
