Eason Commits To NC State

July 28, 2017

NC State landed a huge commitment today from Norfolk (VA) Norview defensive lineman Derrick Eason.   Eason announced his decision on Twitter.



Eason recently visited NC State and that trip put the Wolfpack in a strong position.

"It went great," Eason said of the trip.  "I enjoyed the atmosphere and coaches. They treated me  like family. The facilities were great, and I loved the academics. I just enjoyed the atmosphere at NC State."

The Wolfpack could be potentially losing at least five defensive linemen at the conclusion of the 2017 season, so landing a talent like Eason was a priority.  The coaches mentioned to him the potential playing time in their pitch but added it wasn't a given.

"They mainly talked about how it was all about a family there," he said.  "They told me they had a lot of seniors and spots would be available but nothing would be given.  I'll have to earn everything if I went there, but spots could be available."

Eason is NC State's 17th commitment in the 2018 recruiting class, and he is the Wolfpack's second defensive line commitment. 

The 6-foot-5, 245-pound prospect is rated a three-star recruit by Inside Pack Sports.

Inside Pack Sports will have more on his decision in the near future so stay tuned!

He's a BIG boy. I like his film, he really eats up space. Now if we can get Jordan Davis and Alim McNeil this will be a hell of a DLine class.

Great news!! The Staff is relentless and is building a program that we can be proud of.

Welcome to the Pack young Mr. Eason. Study hard and hopefully those 3-5 years in Raleigh will be some of the best of your life!!

GO PACK!!
Being an N. C. State fan builds great character!

It payed off today and will continue to pay off. Tons of talent in Virginia
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em. Jim Valvano.

Does this impact out chances with Alim? Not sure how many DL we are looking to take. I know we lose a ton so I would imagine we still need to add a few more.

If anything it helps. Alim actually retweeted Eason yesterday and then told him to follow back.

99% sure we take Alim no matter who else is committed or how many DL we have

Another key to watch for here is how much this helps us with another prospect in the area, Artis the Oscar Smith LB. We could use a strong foothold in Tidewater and that would sew it up right there.
