Pack gets rich haul in Georgia

With all the success N.C. State has had recruiting in Georgia, you'd think the campus was in Roswell instead of Raleigh.

Seven recruits from Georgia — including offensive linemen Duran Christophe of Woodstock, Deion Roberson of Tucker and Camden Wentz of Marietta — have sent letters of intent that have arrived at N.C. State.

Zach Gentry to walk on at NCSU

Zach Gentry, a running back and cornerback at Raleigh Leesville Road, plans to walk on at N.C. State.

His older brother Taylor Gentry walked on at State and eventually earned a scholarship as a wide receiver.

Zach Gentry rushed for  1300 yds and 14 TDs as a senior year, had 10 interceptions, and had 1011 all-purpose yards. 
 

Boyd's letter good news for Clemson

The arrival of quarterback Tajh Boyd's letter of intent at 9:47 this morning was excellent news for Clemson, which hasn't had much good news in recruiting this season.
In the wake of coach Tommy Bowden's resignation, the Tigers lost some high-profile commitments that caused the class to take a bit of a nosedive.

Jackets sign 21

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech has signed 21 players, including an in-state receiver who turned down an offer from Georgia.

Coach Paul Johnson's second recruiting class Wednesday included 14 in-state players. One of the key signees was receiver Stephen Hill of Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga. Hill made a verbal commitment to Georgia Tech before also considering an offer from Georgia.

Byrd signs with Pack

Cornerback Jarvis Byrd of Pahokee, Fla., who's one of N.C. State's most coveted commitments, has signed with the Wolfpack.

Byrd was thought to be wavering in his commitment in December, but firmed up with the Wolfpack in late January. He is 5-foot-11, 180 pounds and had 60 tackles, 15 passes broken up and three punt blocks as a senior.

Montgomery picks LSU over Heels

Sam Montgomery, a 6-5, 240-pound defensive end from Greenwood (S.C.) High, ranked No. 2 in the Observer's S.C. Top 25, committed to LSU Wednesday morning.

Montgomery, who had visited North Carolina, made his choice live at ESPNU's studio in South Charlotte.

Montgomery eliminated Oregon from his list last week. He visited Michigan, North Carolina Tennessee and LSU officially. He's also visited South Carolina and Clemson on his own.

Locals are in for Duke

Duke had almost unprecedented success with highly regarded players in the Triangle area in its 2009 recruiting class.

The Blue Devils have received letters of intent confirming that Triangle influence, according to scout.com. Durham Hillside running back Desmond Scott, the gem of the class whom coach David Cutcliffe pried away from Rutgers, has turned in his letter.
