NC State lost one of the highest-ranked members of its 2019 recruiting class when running back Jamious Griffin announced via Twitter on Monday that he’s decommitting from the Wolfpack. It’s a tough loss for Dave Doeren, but not a particularly shocking one.
His decommitment felt inevitable after he opted not to sign a letter of intent with NC State during the December signing period. These days, the kids who have their minds made up aren’t waiting around until February.
And Griffin is one of those guys who saw his stock take a huge jump during his senior season, bringing attention from power-conference schools that wasn’t there when he committed to the Pack last spring.
