Offensive Line Recruit Blaske Decommits

The Georgia native's decision reduces NC State's 2020 class to 19 on the eve of national signing day

Three-star offensive prospect Austin Blaske has rescinded his commitment to NC State on the eve of college football's December national signing period.

The 6-foot-5, 278-pound recruit from Effingham High School in Guyton, Ga., announced his decision on Twitter late Tuesday night. In his post, Blaske indicated that he had accepted an offer from another school, but did not specify which one.

His departure from coach Dave Doeren's 2020 class leaves the Wolfpack with 19 committed players.

"That said, I made a promise to a true friend that is no longer with us that if a certain opportunity presented itself I would consider it. At this time I have decommitted from NC State, but will still be signing tomorrow."
