■ football recruiting combine, was 6-4 and 228 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds and the shuttle in 4.41 seconds, had a 9-5 standing broad jump and did 22 reps at 185 pounds on the bench press. Stats: Registered 92 tackles, eight sacks, two quarterback hurries, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery as a junior. Rivals.com rankings: Three-star prospect, the No. 16 player in North Carolina and the No. 20 strongside defensive end in the country. Colleges: Verbally committed to Boston College in April. Scouting report: Landry is one of the most explosive defensive ends in the state, especially coming around the outside on the pass rush. He uses his athleticism well when in pursuit, and he is a willing hitter. He needs to add weight, but he could also play outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. He does struggle getting off blocks. 19. Safety/receiver Jefferie Gibson Hope Mills Gray's Creek High Measurables: At the Shrine Bowl combine held at A.C. Reynolds High in Asheville, N.C., Gibson measured 6-4 and 192 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.87 seconds and the shuttle in 4.27 seconds, had a 30.1-inch vertical leap and did nine reps at 185 pounds on the bench press. Stats: Posted 69 tackles (30 solo) and four interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns, and returned a kickoff for a touchdown as a junior. Rivals.com rankings: Three-star recruit, the No. 18 player in North Carolina and the No. 33 athlete in the country. Colleges: Verbally committed to NC State in June. Scouting report: Gibson is one of the best-looking prospects in the state. He is also smooth on the field with a long stride and good change of direction that makes him faster than his 40-time would indicate, although his top-end speed is a question mark. He is also an aggressive hitter, but at times he tried too hard for the monster shot rather than focusing on making the tackle. Due to the triple-option offense Gray's Creek uses, he's raw as a receiver. 20. Offensive lineman Trip McNeill Mocksville Davie County High Measurables: At the Rocky River Shrine Bowl combine, was 6-4 and 306 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash in 5.45 seconds and the shuttle in 5.07 seconds, had a 22.0-inch vertical leap and did 27 reps on the bench press at 185 pounds. Rivals.com rankings: Three-star prospect and the No. 24 player in North Carolina. Colleges: Verbally committed to Duke in April. Scouting report: Of the linemen in the state, none does as good a job as McNeill at getting pad leverage, driving the defender back and finishing the block with a pancake. The bigger question with McNeill is does he have the foot speed to pass block well. ■ For regular reports on NC State football recruiting plus videos of Wolfpack commitments and targets visit TheWolfpacker.com.
