NC State football landed a commitment from a Shrine Bowl receiver Friday when three-star prospect Jalen Coit from Cheraw (S.C.) High announced his pledge to the Wolfpack. He becomes the Pack’s 16th commitment in the 2020 class.
Coit (5-foot-11, 165 pounds) is a productive wideout who had earlier reported offers from Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, Purdue, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest, among others.
NC State was a late entrant into his recruitment when it offered Nov. 15.
In the regular season Coit caught 55 passes for 842 yards and 11 touchdowns. Heading into the state playoffs this season, Coit had 175 career receptions for 2,746 yards and 39 scores. He’s also returned three punts for scores and has a career 11.6-yards per-punt-return average.
Coit is also a standout basketball player for Cheraw, averaging 21.4 points per game in his career.
Rivals.com ranks Coit as the No. 17 senior prospect in the state of South Carolina.
The Wolfpacker will have more on Coit’s commitment.
