■ FOOTBALL RECRUITING "Coach Willis is a really cool guy, and he's a really down-to-earth coach," Wright noted. "I feel like I can talk to him about anything, whether it be about school or just personal things." Wright labeled NC State as his leader in one report — but in others, including an interview with The Wolfpacker, he has maintained he has no favorites. LINEBACKER DEVARIS BRUNSON Lake City (S.C.) High The 6-0, 205-pound Brunson verbally committed to East Carolina in June, but NC State, led by running backs/tight ends coach Des Kitchings, has not stopped recruiting Brunson.

The Wolfpack have offered Brunson a scholarship and is hoping to convince him to switch his verbal commitment. "It was good," Brunson stated. "I saw everything I wanted to see. I stayed around and watched them scrimmage and got to talk to the coaches. "I'm still committed to ECU, but I am open to all schools right now." Rivals.com rates Brunson as a three-star prospect and the No. 18 player in the state. He had 172 tackles, including 18 for loss and 10 sacks, as a junior. DEFENSIVE BACK KORRIN WIGGINS Durham (N.C.)

Lower Richland High, safety Chris Holmes from Spotsylvania (Va.) Chancellor High, and cor- ner/safeties Jack Tocho from Charlotte In- dependence High and Hassan Childs from Kissimmee (Fla.) Osceola High. That's why it was a bit surprising when Wiggins, who like Childs and Tocho could play safety or corner in college, showed up at NC State's final preseason scrimmage Aug. 19. Wiggins (6-1, 185 pounds) also is a verbal commitment to North Carolina, having pledged for the Tar Heels Feb. 8 along with teammate Khris Francis, a run- ning back. Wiggins, though, has been a soft com- mitment for most of the summer. He re- ported a top three of UNC, Clemson and NC State in one Rivals.com report in April.
