Thank God Payton Flipped His Commitment from UNC to NC State!
Today is the last time NC State fans will have the opportunity to watch Linebacker Payton Wilson play football in Carter-Finley Stadium. It’s hard to imagine Wilson in any other jersey besides the Wolfpack’s Red & White, but he was awfully close to wearing UNC’s putrid baby Blue and White.
Wilson, out of Orange High School in Hillsborough, North Carolina, originally verbally committed to UNC on May 1st, 2017.

NC State’s coaching staff didn’t care that Wilson was verbally committed to NC State. They continued to pursue him.
