DURHAM — Southern Durham wide receiver Tony Creecy has committed to N.C. State, according to NCPreps.com.
The 6-foot, 196-pound Creecy runs a 4.5 forty yard dash, and is considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com. He's the No. 28 wide receiver in the country, according to the recruiting Web site.
Last season, Creecy caught 48 passes for 863 yards and five touchdowns for the Spartans.
Southern Durham recorded a 9-4 record last season, and finished in a three-way tie for first place.
The Spartans lost to Hillside in the second round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association's 4-A state playoffs, 7-0.
Southern Durham is expected to be one of the best teams in the Triangle this coming season, with Creecy and quarterback Alan Lea leading the offense.
Creecy had 31 other offers including Clemson, Duke, East Carolina, Florida State, LSU, Maryland, North Carolina, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Stanford and Wake Forest.
Jason Swepson was recruiting Creecy for the Wolfpack, according to his profile on Rivals.com.
Creecy is the sixth commitment in the Class of 2010 for N.C. State. He is the third in-state commitment for head coach Tom O'Brien.
Conference rivals from Chapel Hill, Robert Crisp and Peter Singer, will join Creecy in Raleigh in the fall of 2010.
Southern Durham will open their 2009 season on Aug. 21 at J.H. Rose in Greenville.
