The additions to NC State's 2017 recruiting class continue to roll in this week. On Thursday night, the Wolfpack received a commitment from Xavier Lyas, who is an intriguing defensive end prospect from Durant High School in Florida. Lyas announced his college decision on Twitter.
There is some good background on Lyas in this article from BigCountyPreps.com. He only recently resumed playing football, and that was only after going through a growth spurt that shot him up to 6'5. His junior season was his first full year of high school football, and he didn't exactly have a breakthrough performance, as he recorded only 13 tackles.
