Thaddeus Moss, son of Randy Moss, commits to N.C. State

Thaddeus Moss, son of former NFL star receiver Randy Moss, has committed to N.C. State.

Moss, a 6-foot-4 four-star tight end for the 2016 class, chose the Wolfpack among 30 other offers. His final decision came down to N.C. State, UCLA, Texas A&M and Southern California. He is the No. 6 tight end in the country, according to Rivals.com.

"It just felt right," Moss told ESPN.com. "It's close to home, it felt right, and they kept it real with me from day one. NC State was the first team to offer, and loyalty was rewarded."

Moss is the highest-ranked commit for the Wolfpack’s 2016 class. He said that while he consulted his father toward the end of his recruitment, he wanted to make a point to stay out of his dad’s shadow.

"For the most part, he really let me go about the process on my own," Moss told ESPN.com. "I asked for his opinion and for him to sit down with the coaches and talk, but I asked for that these last few weeks. He voiced his opinion, and we had in-depth conversations about what was best for me and what was best for the family."

Moss played at four schools in his four high school seasons. He started as a freshman at St. Albans in West Virginia then transferred to Lincoln High School in Rhode Island and Victory Christian in Charlotte. He finished his career at Mallard Creek in Charlotte.
