The Weinheim Warriors’ loss has quickly turned out to be N.C. State’s gain. Markus Kuhn wasn’t often mentioned when the Wolfpack’s most recent recruiting class was discussed. But after just three games, the native of Weinheim, Germany, is slated to start this Saturday when N.C. State (1-2, 0-1 ACC) welcomes Clemson (3-0, 1-0) to Carter-Finley Stadium.
From Jeff – I think that Kuhn’s presence in the NC State program is very special and will be treated as such by our coaches. Coach Tom O’Brien obviously cares more about ‘life experiences’ and the development of leadership skills and the maturity of men than the average coach. (Let’s don’t bother calling any names here). Student-athletes like Kuhn generate exposure, conversation and developmental opportunities for all members of the NC State program that are unique and can be life-altering. I think that TOB will use Kuhn’s presence as a foundation for teaching more than just football within our ‘PROGRAM’ and as great development tools for the current and future members of the NC State Football.
