On Tuesday evening, NC State football landed its 10th commitment of the 2019 recruiting class: 3-star safety Jakeen Harris.

Those 10 commitments hail from two states: North Carolina and Georgia. The class, which ranks 29th nationally according to 247 Sports, features seven in-state commitments; the other three, including Harris, are from Georgia. It’s the clear: the Pack’s prioritizing recruiting local.
