Redshirt Freshman Kamal Bonner made quite an impression on the NC State Defensive Coaches last year, earning a spot on the the 2-Deep Depth Chart as a True Freshman.

When asked what he thought he did to gain their attention, he said he played fast and grew fast.

“I don’t really know what I did well. I just think I took care of my business,” said Bonner. “I played fast, even if I did mess up. I grew fast, and I know the book a lot.”

Bonner was running with the 1’s on the 1st Day of Spring Practice, and one of the reasons he finds himself in the position he finds himself now is due to the influence of former NC State Linebacker Payton Wilson.
