The Wolfpack offer Flowery Branch DE | College recruiting | ajc.com

N.C. State is the latest program to send a scholarship offer to Flowery Branch defensive end Izaan Cross.

Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Maryland, South Carolina and West Virginia had previously offered the 6-foot-4, 240-pound junior.

“It’s always a cool feeling, but you can’t ever get tired of getting offers,” said Cross, who received notification of N.C. State’s interest on Thursday.

Cross reiterated his desire to thoroughly research each program before making a commitment.

“I like all my schools,” he said. “I’m just enjoying the process right now. It may even be after football season [before a decision is made].”

Coaches from LSU, Indiana and Marshall have attended Flowery Branch’s spring football practice, which began on Tuesday.

“Spring practice is going pretty good,” Cross said. “I’m not surprised because I know we have a lot of potential going in this season.

“We’re missing a few people to other sports, but I think when we get all the pieces together we will be a force.”
