every time I went, it just got stronger and stronger." Southern Guilford coach Darryl Brown said that Gallaspy is a combination of natural talent and strong work ethic. "He's got a lot of God-given abilities, but he works extremely hard," Brown said. "He's one of the hardest workers I've ever had to coach. To have those abilities and work the way he does just shows a lot about his char- acter and what kind of kid he is. "He's got great vision and great balance, he's powerful, and he's got great speed. A lot of people doubt his speed. He's got un- believable speed. When he gets on the edge, he doesn't get caught. He just runs with such passion." Also joining the 2015 class were a pair of linemen. T.J. McCoy is a 6-2, 290-pound interior line prospect from South Lake High in Groveland, Fla. He picked NCSU on Sept. 12 over offers from South Florida and Rut- gers, among others. "I just believe in Coach Dave Doeren's vision and what he wants for this football team," McCoy noted. "I really want to help NC State get to the next level and be a domi- nant program in the ACC and the nation. I'm really excited about that, and it is the place for me. "When I went there for the camp, I really loved the atmosphere and just the way the coaches coached me. I got to see Raleigh for what it was and see the people. I saw the campus and enjoyed it, and the dorm rooms." McCoy will be following in the footsteps of his father Tony McCoy. The elder Mc- Coy was a first-team All-SEC and honorable mention All-American defensive lineman on Steve Spurrier's 1991 SEC champion Florida Gators team. He then went on to play nine seasons in the NFL, mostly with the India- napolis Colts.
