NC State Football Recruiting Class Increases to Two Dozen
In this story:
When the NC State football staff extended an offer to Wagner High School (Texas) linebacker Ke'Von Carter in mid-December, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound three-star had been committed to the Texas State Bobcats for roughly six months. It took several weeks, but Dave Doeren and his crew ultimately pulled off the flip over the weekend to further strengthen their depth at the position on next season's roster.
