Keshawn Stancil took a direct shot at Bill Belichick during his official commitment to play college football at North Carolina State. The caption on his post is craaaaaazzzzzyyyyyyyyyy.

He did not hold back!

Stancil ranks as the No. 20 player at his position in the college football recruiting Class of 2026. The four-star defensive lineman received 35 different offers from programs like Ole Miss, LSU, Florida State, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, South Carolina and Nebraska. However, it was Penn State, Clemson, Georgia, Miami and North Carolina State that made his top-five.

As a native of Clayton, North Carolina, Stancil grew up 300 miles from Clemson, 45 miles from Chapel Hill and less than 20 miles from Raleigh. It seemed as though the three in-state programs were going to battle it out for his commitment. The Hurricanes and Nittany Lions loom in the background.

There are still six months until the Early Signing Period and eight months until National Signing Day so things can still change. A big senior season could increase the demand for Stancil and, in turn, increase his NIL valuation. This recruitment is far from over. The ink has yet to hit the paper.

With that in mind, the Wolfpack will do everything it can to keep Stancil committed to the program between now and December. It does not look they will have to worry about the Tar Heels.

Keshawn Stancil took a vicious shot at Bill Belichick and North Carolina in his commitment announcement. He supposedly saw a “bum” commit to UNC just moments before the seven-time Super Bowl champion called his phone, which made him feel like an even bigger bum, so he chose N.C. State.

I am not entirely sure whether Stancil is being serious or if he is just being a menace. Either way, three-star offensive lineman Will Conroy was the most recent recruit to commit to Bill Belichick so the post is about him whether it actually is about him or not. Brutal.
