It did not take long for offensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tyler-west-178945/">Tyler West</a> to pick up major Division I offers once his recruitment found its way in full swing this spring. It started with an offer from Sun Belt Conference power Appalachian State, and quickly blossomed into a handful of ACC offers. 



<a href="https://gopack.com/sports/football">NC State</a> was joined by Duke and Georgia Tech as the main competition for the towering offensive lineman’s services, but in the end, the Wolfpack prevailed to land the in-state three-star recruit in July. 



West, the No. 31 recruit in North Carolina and a four-star by On3, signed with NC State on Wednesday, which was the early national signing day around college football. 



Position: Interior offensive lineman School: Andrews (N.C.) High  Height/Weight: 6-5, 275 Other offers: Appalachian State, Charlotte, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest Senior year stats: Defense: 14 total tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 QB hurry, 1 forced fumble Accolades: Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas selection



<h2 id="h-how-west-ended-up-at-nc-state">How West ended up at NC State </h2>



West had multiple ACC suitors, including Duke, but as he continued to think about his college recruitment, one team continued to pop up in his mind: NC State. 



The offensive lineman always thought of the Wolfpack, which was a sign for him. He is a big family person, and he felt at home in Raleigh, even though it is more than five overs from his hometown of Andrews, N.C.



<h2>Why West picked NC State </h2>



“Coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/garett-tujague-134820/">[Garett] Tujague</a> and coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/dave-doeren-131956/" rel="nofollow">[Dave] Doeren</a> went out of their way to reach out to my family and answer any questions they had,” West said. “They definitely showed the love and the energy and definitely made me feel like a priority.”



“The sky’s the limit,” West said. “We can be as great as we want to be. It’s going to be special there.”
