NC State’s 2018 football recruiting class just got a whole lot better. 4-star linebacker Payton Wilson (6’4”/225/Orange High/Hillsborough, North Carolina) just committed to run with the Wolfpack.
Wilson is a U.S. Army All-American, and a nominee for the U.S. Army National Player of the Year award.
How big of a deal is the addition of Wilson?
He instantly became the highest rated player in the Wolfpack’s 2018 recruiting class according to 247Sports. They rank him as the #67 overall player in the 2018 class.
On May 1st Wilson initially committed to UNC, but that didn’t stop NC State from recruiting him.
