JULY 2019 ■ 139 ■ FOOTBALL RECRUITING No. 38 wide receiver and No. 195 overall prospect in the country. 18. RAY GRIER, WR South Point High Grier has good size and strength at 6-2, 205 pounds. Not known as a burner, he is probably fast enough, and he has excellent hands to help him make some difficult catches. His overall athleti- cism, though, is a notch below the top receiv- ers in the state. Grier is also limited by an offense that does not throw the football much. He caught 27 of South Point's 38 completed passes for 541 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018. Rivals.com ranks Grier as a four-star tal- ent, the No. 10 prospect in the state, and the No. 44 wide receiver and No. 236 overall player nationally. 19. JONATHAN ADORNO, OL Rolesville High Adorno is, for a high school product, a technically sound offensive tackle with good feet and balance. He has nice size at 6-4, 300 pounds and showed some strength at a Shrine Bowl combine when he bench-pressed 185 pounds 26 times. He was also hand-timed at 5.2 seconds in the 40- yard dash. He added a 24.7-inch vertical leap at the Nike Opening Regional. Adorno verbally committed to NC State in June. He is rated by Rivals.com as a three-star prospect, the No. 18 player in the state and the No. 74 offensive tackle in the nation. 20. KENDALL KARR, TE Stuart Cramer High A torn ACL suffered during a non-contact drill at the Rivals 3-Stripe Camp Series is concern- ing, but prior to that the 6-4, 225-pounder was tracking to- wards being a top-15 player in the state. He caught 38 passes for 635 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior, showing the athleticism to stretch a defense. Karr also showed toughness and a willing- ness to be involved in the running game as an extra blocker. He verbally committed to UNC in April. Rivals.com lists Karr as a three-star prospect, the No. 22 player in the state and the No. 30 tight end in the land. ■ For regular reports on NC State football recruiting plus videos of Wolfpack commitments and targets visit TheWolfpacker.com.
