Rivals is in the process of updating their football recruiting rankings for the 2018 class, and at this point NC State’s class ranks 21st.

This is the 1st recruiting class in the Doeren era to be ranked in the Top 25.

2013: 47th

2014: 30th

2015: 35th

2016: 43rd

2017: 53rd

2018: 21st (CURRENTLY)

Now, obviously signing day isn’t until February, and a lot could change. They could move up in the rankings, and they could move down. More players could commit, and others could decommit. With that being said, this recruiting class is a huge step in the right direction for Doeren and crew.

Defensive End Alim McNeil (#244) picked up his 4th star (about time), joining Payton Wilson (#149), Ricky Person (#91) and Devin Leary (#230) in the Rivals 250.
