Harrison Taggart played two seasons at BYU after spending his freshman campaign at Oregon. Now, though, it appears that the 6-foot-1, 235-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker out of Draper, Utah, a prime NC State football transfer target, is at least considering a move to the East Coast for his final two years of eligibility.

In fact, if Taggart does decide to head east, it looks as though NC State football would be his destination.
On Wednesday night, Taggart told On3's Hayes Fawcett that he's now down to three schools in his transfer recruitment. He'll choose between the Wolfpack, Cal, and Colorado.
