NC State’s campus access strengthens its position with linebacker Skylar Alston

What Happened

Four-star linebacker Skylar Alston has continued learning from NC State inside linebackers coach Isaiah Moore while remaining familiar with the Wolfpack program. Alston attends Raleigh's Cardinal Gibbons High School, located across the street from Carter-Finley Stadium, and has visited NC State more times than he can count. The Rivals300 prospect still finds value in returning to campus and learning from Moore. Alston has not committed to NC State, no decision date has been set, and no official school comment has been identified.

Why It Matters

• Alston’s school location gives NC State repeated access to a highly regarded linebacker without requiring a major travel commitment.
• Ongoing work with Isaiah Moore gives the Wolfpack another point of contact beyond campus visits.
• Familiarity helps NC State stay involved, but the report does not establish that the Wolfpack has secured Alston’s commitment.

THE PATE STATE READ

THE PATE STATE READ: NC State deserves credit for turning ordinary geography into regular recruiting access, and Moore’s continued teaching gives that access a football purpose. The task is harder than getting a prospect through the front door: the Wolfpack still has to convert familiarity into a commitment. This moves NC State’s position a spot, not the earth. Alston’s next public recruiting update or decision is the test that matters.(Josh has not yet commented.)
