Every time the NC State Wolfpack acquires a new football commitment, the bell tower lights up red. Not literally, but metaphorically on social media.
In honor of the tradition head coach Dave Doeren brought to Raleigh, we've named our commitment tracker accordingly. Below is a list in chronological order (most recent first) of each of NC State's 2021 football commits. We will update this list each time the red light comes on:

2020 stats: In 13 games, produced 70 tackles, 19.0 for loss, 7.0 sacks, four fumble recoveries and one fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.
Bio: Campbell became the third overall commit in NC State's 2021 class when he announced his decision during the first weekend of June. NC State was his first of five scheduled official visits in the month of June, but his trip to Raleigh went so well that he committed on the spot.
He's ranked 86th among prospects from the state of Florida in the 2022 class according to Rivals.
He had notable offers from NC State, Nebraska, Virginia, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, Auburn, Georgia Tech and Missouri, among several others.

Bio: Morris became the second overall and first four-star commit of NC State's 2021 class. He's the highest-ranked commitment from the state of Georgia in the Dave Doeren era, and the third-highest ranked quarterback commitment for the program since internet recruiting rankings were created.
He was a nationally sought-after recruit that held offers from notable programs such as Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Michigan, Oregon, Miami, Florida State and Virginia Tech, among several others. His final three ultimately came down to NC State, Georgia Tech and Nebraska.
Morris ranked No. 196 overall and No. 5 among dual-threat quarterbacks nationally in the 2022 class according to Rivals. He was also ranked No. 19 among recruits from the state of Georgia.
