Former Coastal Carolina defensive end Jeffrey Gunter announced on Tuesday he’ll be attending North Carolina State via Twitter. Fifteen days ago, Gunter had tweeted that he’d be transferring to play at Syracuse.
Gunter received two Division I scholarship offers out of high school: Coastal Carolina and NC State. The Durham, N.C. native will play about 30 minutes down the road from his hometown in Raleigh. Since enrolling at CCU, Gunter gained 50 pounds, from 205 to 255. Last fall, Gunter recorded 49 tackles, including 14 for a loss.
After playing two seasons at Coastal Carolina, Gunter will need to sit out the 2019 season at NC State before having two seasons of eligibility remaining for 2020 and 2021.
