NC State lands speedy defensive back Joshua Pierre-Louis
NC State has been pursuing the athletic Joshua Pierre-Louis since before the summer. He is a three-star product of The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. that the Pack hopes will boost its secondary speed for years to come after Pierre-Louis made a commitment Sunday evening.

As a junior, Pierre-Louis finished third in the state in the 200-meter dash state finals and was named the Palm Beach Class 2A-1A boys track and field athlete of the year by the Sun Sentinel.
Through 11 games in his senior season, Pierre-Louis had 41 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He had also caught 19 passes for 264 yards and a score.
As a junior, Pierre-Louis had 23 tackles (including five for loss and a sack), two interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He added 13 receptions for 187 yards and a score and ran 80 times for 478 yards and six more touchdowns.
