"The class starts — and started — with our quarterback commit, Will Wilson," 12th-year NC State football head coach Dave Doeren noted about the confirmed Wolfpack talent at his signing day press conference on Tuesday. "I'm so excited about Will and have known him a long time...He's a young guy that can throw, can run, can lead. His father is his head coach as well. He comes from a coaching tree.
"And he's gonna be here midyear, and [I'm] excited for him to join the team and what he can do."
