Once he completes another football season at Wake Forest Heritage High School, the next stage of Ricky Person’s so-far stellar career will take place at NC State. The four-star recruit announced his commitment to the Wolfpack in a mid-January posting on Twitter.

The 6-2, 200-pound Person, who’s considered the top recruit in North Carolina, had also considered playing at either Duke or South Carolina. On a national level, Person is also highly thought of, receiving scholarship offers from schools like Louisville and Tennessee. On some national recruiting websites, Person is considered to be the 11th-best recruit for the Class of 2018.
