NC State adds commitment from LB Devon Betty

Three-star linebacker Devon Betty from St. Thomas Aquinas High in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., announced his verbal commitment to NC State on Sunday afternoon at the conclusion of his official visit in Raleigh.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Betty was offered by NC State during the summer and is now helping St. Thomas Aquinas High to the No. 1 ranking by USA Today.

Betty piled up five tackles during a 24-14 win during a nationally televised showdown at Concord (Calif.) De La Salle High in the season opener. Betty played seven games last year while St. Thomas Aquinas went 13-2 and reached the 7A state title game. He had 22 tackles, including a pair for a loss and a sack.

Betty previously attended Miramar (Fla.) High, where he was honorable mention all-county for the highest classifications (6A-8A).

Betty is listed in the Rivals.com database as a weakside defensive end and ranked No. 65 in the state of Florida and No. 17 nationally at that position, but he is being recruited to play linebacker in college.

Betty also reported an offer from Florida International.
