Some breaking news Noah Rogers wide receiver Ohio State entered the transfer pool a couple of days ago Uh According to Corey Smith editor Pack pride and others I'm saying the reporting done a few different places but but Corey Smith the first on it at least on uh at least on my timeline has Noah Rogers committing to NC State for those of you that don't know who Noah Rogers is This is a big gosh darn deal for the NC State football team and I can only imagine it's not that cheap Well yes Uh going back to his days as a recruit uh he was a four star but knocking on the door of five star Roseville High School here in Wake County by the way Roseville High School has some connections to some other players uh that are on NC State That's kind of where all the rumblings of this happening started Uh but he is the 40th ranked recruit in the 2023 recruiting class So that's the the class that just finished their and many times Red Shirt year like not like the the their freshman year in school they just finished He was the 40th ranked recruit the eighth wide receiver in the country And depending on where you look either the first or second ranked recruit in the State of North Carolina out of Roseville as you mentioned had connections to Casey Concepcion as far as as they've been friends for a while Uh Lex Thomas a backup quarterback for NC State uh uh Tamarcus Cooley an incoming transfer to NC State Wes Grimes an incoming transfer to NC State I think Right And this is all break like literally broke within the last couple of minutes So you know without having the chance to to bring up every roster I think this gives NC State an argument for best wide receiving core in the AC C I mean when you mix in Casey Concepcion who is everybody's freshman all American you put now Noah Rogers a former top 40 recruit in the country Uh and and by the way he went to Ohio State so he preserved his red shirt this past year but it's not like he was sitting behind scrubs right The the reason why he wasn't breaking onto the field in Ohio State is because you know I don't know if you've heard of Marvin Harrison junior and Ed Bouquet and some of the other guys that they have on their uh their roster up there at Ohio State You mean first round picks I mean Ohio State you could argue had a better wide receiving court than the Panthers Um I would not dispute that and and Noah Rogers was included in that Um this is big this is big and it shows the kind of offense that Robert and I the offensive coordinator wants to run for NC State last year was his first year as coordinator There was an element of you have to cook the ingredients that are provided for you right They ran an offense that was heavy on quarterback run that was extremely creative in using Casey Concepcion every different way Uh They had a heck at times a defensive player pool playing running back just just by you know whatever whatever ingredients you can give me I'm gonna make an offense out of Now You look at multiple top 150 recruits in the country coming in this upcoming year at wide receiver We're talking Taylor we're talking Anderson Uh Taylor just had a big day at the the Under Armour all American game Um you mix in Wesley Grimes who was a big recruit last year went to Wake Forest after one year He's transferring to NC State Obviously there's Casey Concepcion and a few others sticking around now Noah Rogers This is I mean do you know who's the happiest person on the planet right now That's Dave Doran I was gonna say Grayson mccall with him too Grayson mccall the Dave Doran has to deal with some stuff on the defensive side right Some some corners departing the program replacing Peyton Wilson Grayson mccall has the quarterback again out of the transfer portal coming from Coastal Carolina has to be looking around going This isn't what I had at Coastal I tell you that much and to think of this as well Not only the transfers that you mentioned Casey Conception coming back Look at the recruiting class Jonathan Taylor who's a running back wide receiver four star guy Terrell Anderson from the green from the triad four star wide receiver Keenan Jackson that they flip from UN C four star wide receiver Like they're bringing dudes in they're bringing some dudes in too We're gonna see four and five wide and and all four and five of those wide receivers that are out there on certain not not every play but on certain plays are going to be threats like Matt like Casey Concepcion might be the second happiest guy in in Raleigh right now because he's going yeah double team me now right All those coverages He was saying at the end of last year where uh you know he breaks the huddle and runs to the right and the entire defense is like he's over here like now it's gonna be he's over here but he's over we'll figure it out like there there's there's gonna be less of that because you can't you can't focus on one of them How fast can Dave Doran develop them That's the question They're all young that's the thing They're all these are all these guys we're talking about these transfers coming in with the exception of Wesley Grimes These are all gonna be 1st 2nd year college players and by the way Noah Rogers only played in two games this season so he still has 40 years of eligibility Deserved his red shirt They are young Third most most uh excited person right now Cedric Bailey who was in that same Under Armour all American game a quarterback recruit uh out of Florida that committed to NC State He's going all right fine Grayson mccall played this year but if I can get that starting job the next year many of these guys are still gonna be around and and they're gonna be really fun to get the ball to and you know what I go back to something I've been saying all off season about NC state this is efficiency of their their transfer mechanism I don't know what to call it They're they're machine right from collectives to coaches to player connections to to everything kind of mixed together This is an efficient beast They're working right It's it's we need a quarterback Grayson mccall get him on campus He's committed It's it's Casey Concepcion you know right after uh whatever the the regular season ends the day after or actually the night of the game postgame Dave Doran says hey give money to the collectives four days later boom inked an agreement between the collective and Casey Concepcion to stay for 2024 Noah Rogers didn't I mean Ohio State played a couple of days ago It really wasn't that long ago Noah Rogers was on the sideline in uniform for that game Now Thursday of that week he's committed to NC State This is an efficient beast of a a transfer nil machine that NC State has fully embraced and and you know it's funny every coach we talk to we had Braxton Harris the head coach of a brand new head coach of Campbell on the show yesterday And I said hey modern college football what's your take on the portal And he was like you know it doesn't matter what my take on the portal is because it's not going anywhere and and it seems like that's what every coach wants to say Oh the portal's not going anywhere Ah it's the new way of the world Oh that's what it is It is what it is And and NC State said well if everyone agrees it's not going anywhere let's be the best at using it Right If everyone agrees this is just how it is Now then if we can't be the best If you wanna say you know I don't know LSU or Florida State or whatever the best let's be the second best Let's be let's be as good as we can possibly be at it And let's get former top 50 recruits on campus and and promise them what we can promise them Noah Rogers and Casey Concepcion both being uh obviously Casey Concepcion didn't didn't preserve his red shirt his freshman year but both being in that same recruiting class So their second years in in college coming up I mean they might be the best duo in the AC C definitely the best duo for their age at wide receiver
