Senior left tackle Austin Pay has unique recruiting journey

Perhaps no prospect in the class of 2025 has as unique a recruitment for NC State as senior tackle Austin Pay.

Highland (Utah) Lone Peak High isn’t part of NC State’s normal recruiting path, but Pay’s family has deep connections to NCSU offensive coordinator Robert Anae and offensive line coach Garett Tujague.
