NC State got some excellent news prior to kickoff on Saturday with the verbal commitment of in-state running back Kyron Jones. Jones is a three-star prospect listed at 6’0 and 193 pounds by 247Sports.
He received an offer from NC State during a camp visit back in June, and at that point he had not garnered a lot of interest from power-five programs. That has since changed: Notre Dame, Miami, and West Virginia each offered in the last month, but Jones’s familiarity with State—he’s been to campus several times already—helped to make the difference in his recruitment.
