Senior wide receiver Je’rel Bolder knew he could trust what NC State’s vision was for him.

The trust was built up over two years of being recruited by the Wolfpack. Countless unofficial visits, trips by NCSU coaches to Marshville (N.C.) Forest Hills High and calls and texts to Bolder. NC State wide receiver coach Joker Phillips was at the center of the recruitment and when Bolder officially visited this past weekend, he felt at peace.
