Each month, The Wolfpacker will be updating its mock class for the NC State Wolfpack football program. This is edition No. 5 for the defense.

We have projected a range of 23-25 likely recruits to be signed by NC State in 2021. On defense, we are currently projecting 12 players, down one over our fourth edition. Offensively we have 12 players projected.

Since the third mock class, we correctly projected three players that have since committed to NC State.

Among the highlights on defense:

• A new name on the defensive backs to our mock class.

• Highlighting some possible alternatives for one defensive line spot.

• Projecting a trio of prominent in-state targets to the Wolfpack.
