had also offered Workman.
He also plays basketball for Contra Costa,
and averaged 7.3 points and 8.2 rebounds a
game as a freshman. He has three years to
play two at NCSU.
Two juniors have joined interior lineman
Harrison Gee from Burlington (N.C.) Wil-
liams High in the 2016 recruiting class.
Like Gee, Joe Sculthorpe (6-2, 280
pounds) of Hampstead (N.C.) Topsail High
is likely to play guard or center in college.
He picked State on Sept. 21 over an early
offer from East Carolina.
"We figured it was better to get a spot now
than get it later on," Sculthorpe said.
NC State's coaches could not have agreed
more.
"They have been trying to get me to com-
mit for a while now," he noted. "They were
really pleased with my decision, especially
the offensive line coach [Mike Uremovich]."
Sculthorpe also wrestles, winning the 3-A
state title as a sophomore after posting a
record of 47-2 with his only two losses com-
ing to the 4A state champion and runner-up.
Also committing from the junior class
was safety Tim Glass from Liberty Christian
Academy in Lynchburg, Va. Glass, a na-
tive of Danville, Va., also had early offers
from Virginia, East Carolina, Cincinnati and
Charlotte.
"They were the first team to really take
a chance on me," Glass noted. "I really
couldn't believe it when they offered me.
That offer was nothing like the other offers.
"They always showed me they really
wanted me by sending me letters every day
and building relationships."
Rivals.com rates the 6-0, 205-pound Glass
as the No. 25 safety in the 2016 class and
No. 14 junior in the initial state rankings for
Virginia. ■
