It’s been a bit, but the red light finally came back on yesterday with the verbal commitment of 2023 offensive lineman Charlie Symonds. Charlie’s dad, Toby, was a kicker at NC State once upon a time.

Symonds plays tackle for The Taft School in Connecticut and figures to project there in college as well, given that he’s already 6’7. He was on campus last weekend for an official visit that helped seal the deal.

His offer sheet is impressive: Stanford, Michigan State, BC, Kentucky, UVA, and Duke, among others.
