This past weekend Wide Receiver Anthony Creecy put on a show at the Nike Football Training Camp at UVA. Creecy is a 4 Star recruit that plays high school ball in our backyard, at Southern Durham High School. NC State is one of 25 schools that have thrown a scholarship Creecy's way, and at this weekends event, he gave Pack fans something to smile about. Jamey Givens of ESPN reports Creecy as saying:"NC State is my leader," Creecy said. "Duke and Wake Forest are in the running, too, but I haven't been to any out-of-state schools yet. Once I do, I have a feeling the tables will turn."
Given's also had this to say about Creecy's performance this past weekend:
"While the wide receiver group was underwhelming for the most part, Anthony Creecy (Durham, N.C./Southern Durham) caught just about everything thrown his way. Creecy's athleticism and versatility has helped him collect 25 scholarship offers, and his play Sunday backed it up. Creecy showed he is more than capable of playing receiver at the next level if that's where he ends up. He collected MVP honors."
Creecy had a monster season last year, reeling in 48 receptions for 863 yards (17.8 avg) and 8 touchdowns. He stands 6'0 tall and steps on the scale at 196. Even though Creecy is a Wide Receiver, he is just as likely to line up as an H-Back, or in a 3-point stance. He shows tremendous versatility and can be used in many different ways in an offensive set. Creecy is handed the ball in the backfield or thrown the ball at the line of scrimmage quite often. In fact, ESPN sees Creecy as more of a Running Back at the next level. With that being said, in acknowledgment with his 17.8 yards per catch, Creecy is a deep threat, and is an expert in fly patterns and deep post or fade routes (He runs a 4.5 40). It is exciting that a talent of Creecy's caliber, in the Triangle area, is listing the Pack as his leader. We look forward to keeping you posted on his recruitment and we will definitely be getting some film of this stud on Friday's in the Fall.

Great protection = catches = yardage = touchdowns!
Choose wisely, young grasshopper. Choose NCSU. ;}
^don't forget to our two QBs to that equation. Rookie of the Year and All-ACC RW, and highly touted Glennon, who really showed his worth in the Spring game! That'll help you on catches.
