Scotty McCreery, the American Idol country singing star, has made good on his promise to be a regular student at N.C. State. He blended right in with the other students and took part in the cheering for his beloved Wolfpack, which beat No. 1 Duke.

McCreery, from Garner, recently signed a contract to promote Bojangles restaurant and will go on tour starting Feb. 14 in Bethlehem, Pa.
