Smart move in my opinion of NC State offering West Charlotte junior athlete Ki'anthony Cotton, who played slot receiver and defensive back on the NCHSAA 3A state championship squad. I'll have video of him from the western semifinal game against Greensboro Dudley, and then the state title game against Fayetteville Seventy-First. One of the reasons he has been undervalued is that he took one for the team last year and played quarterback, so this was his first year getting film at his two positions, where he's a Division I prospect at both. I'll assume NC State wants him on the defensive side.
There is also some confusion on his name. He was Ki'anthony Smith and nicknamed KD. He is legally Smith still, but goes by Ki'anthony Cotton, his mother's maiden name. Also still goes by KD. So his Twitter name is Cotton and his Twitter handle is Smith and at Rivals, we are going by what he wants and someday that might be his legal name.
