Maddox Running With The Pack

Dwayne Maddox was a top priority for NC State, and the middle linebacker from Crest High in Shelby, N.C. decided to make a trip to Raleigh and surprised the coaches.

"I just committed to NC State," said the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder. "Around 10:30 last night, I just came up with the decision and decided I wanted to surprise the coaches so we drove up here this afternoon."

Maddox, who took over the same position as former U.S. Army All-American Brandon Spikes, was a terror on the field for Crest last season as he tallied 110 tackles on the year.

The Wolfpack was the first to offer Maddox something he made sure to keep in mind when making his decision.

"They were the first to offer me a scholarship, so that hung in my mind at the end about how much they wanted me."

When Maddox made his commitment, he could tell that he made the right choice in selecting his new family.

"They are fired up about it, man. They're wanting a winning program and they think I can help do that."
