ALAN TISDALE, LB Greensboro Page High Tisdale became a high-level prospect during his sophomore sea- son when he piled up 123 tackles while helping Page play for a state title. The 6-3, 210-pounder is argu- ably the best athlete among the linebacker corps in the state and uses that well in coverage, but will need to get stronger. Tisdale joined his close friends and fel- low Guilford County products Tre Turner and D.J. Crossen in verbally committing to play at Virginia Tech. Tisdale announced his decision July 1. Rivals.com rates Tisdale as a four-star prospect, the No. 13 player in the state and the No. 19 outside linebacker in the country. 20. DEVIN CARTER, WR Clayton High Carter is a physically imposing 6-4, 205-pound receiver who had great produc- tion as a junior at Clayton High, catching 78 passes for 1,167 yards and 15 touchdowns. He is also a solid athlete, posting a 10-0 standing broad jump and performing 17 reps at 185 pounds on the bench press at a Shrine Bowl Combine. At the Nike Opening Regional, he was laser-timed at 4.78 seconds in the 40 and 4.38 seconds in the shuttle, and also had a 32.4-inch verti- cal jump. Carter verbally committed to NC State in May over offers from Michigan State, Minnesota and Wake Forest, among others.
