Matthews (N.C.) Butler receiver Keyon Lesane committed to NC State moments ago.

The Wolfpack was the first to offer Lesane when he visited in February for one of State's junior days.

"It was surprising, but it felt amazing, and I'm very thankful," said the 6-foot, 180-pound Lesane after receiving the offer. "I sat down with coach (Dave) Doeren in his office and he offered me. Being able to sit down with the head coach and be offered by him was really special. It definitely mean a lot to get the offer from him."

Not only was NC State his first offer, but also his first visit.

"It was a really good experience," Lesane said. "We sat down and ate first. Then all the coaches talked and we went to the position rooms. After that, we toured the stadium and other facilities."

"My favorite part was when I got offered, but I also really liked the stadium. I didn't think it was going to be that big -- but it was pretty big. I like the football program overall. I also like the way they treated me when I was there."

While in Raleigh, he spent a significant amount of time with his future position coach George McDonald.

"He talked about my film and what he likes about me," Lesane said. "He told me he likes my speed and the way I catch the football. He said I'd be a good fit in their offense. Coach McDonald is cool. He made me feel comfortable and very welcome."

Lesane is the Wolfpack's sixth commitment in the 2019 recruiting cycle and third since May 16. He is the second receiver in the 2019 class, joining Wilmington (N.C.) Hoggard's Chris Toudle. He was also the Pack's top slot receiver target, so he fills a big need.

With Lesane and Toudle in the fold, NC State will look to add one more outside receiver. A couple names to keep an eye on are Jacksonville (N.C.) Trinity Christian's Isaiah Washington and Ja'quan Sheppard out of Zephyrhills (Fla.).

Along with Lesane and Toudle, State has commitments from Raleigh (N.C.) Wakefield offensive guard Timothy McKay, Cornelius (N.C.) Hough cornerback Jalen Frazier, Shelby (N.C.) outside linebacker Jaylon Scott and Rome (Ga.) running back Jamious Griffin.

He finished his junior campaign with 38 receptions for 736 yards (20 yards per catch) and six touchdowns, 32 carries for 267 yards and four touchdowns, and 120 return yards and another score on special teams for the Bulldogs, while helping lead Butler to an 8-3 record. Defensively, Lesane totaled 63 tackles, three interceptions and three pass breakups.

The Butler playmaker was a member of Pack Pride's Mock Recruiting Class 2.0, which was released today.

NC State tight ends coach Eddie Faulker served as the lead recruiter for Lesane.
