Early years
David Rector was born in Raleigh, NC to parents Darrell and Barbara. He excelled at sports from a young age. He was also extremely passionate about video games and excelled at math and science in school. He loved taking things apart to see how they worked and putting them back together. He also enjoyed playing tenor saxophone in the high school jazz band. He was actually talented enough at sax to be a member of the All-State jazz ensemble his Junior and Senior year. He was a starter for the Green Hope HS Varsity team on both Offense and Defense all 4 years he was there. While he excelled at both cornerback and wideout he was truly passionate at playing cornerback. He knew the sparse history of white cornerbacks in the NSFL and had aspirations of being the next great white corner. Many college coaches wanted Rector to play slot receiver, but he had no desire to take devastating hits while running across the middle of the field. He wanted to shut down one side of the field in the passing game on defense. His goal was for the QB to see that he was lined up on that side and to not bother even looking once he snapped the ball. He was recruited by multiple schools throughout the country, but decided to stay with his hometown team the NC State Wolfpack.
College career
Rector talked to coach Doeren at NC State after arriving on campus and they came to an agreement that he would redshirt his Freshman year. That allowed Rector to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering and get ahead in his classes his Freshman year. Rector also continued honing his talent at tenor saxophone by trying out for the jazz band at NC State. He made the cut and ended up as first chair tenor his Junior and Senior year. After Redshirting his Freshman year at NC State Rector was immediately put into a starting Corner role his 2nd year where he excelled for 3 years at NC State as the Wolfpack saw great success finishing 2nd in the ACC behind Clemson every year. Rector finished his career at NC State with the all time career lead in Interceptions at 20. Rector was a First Team All-ACC member both his 2nd and 3rd years. He was a recipient of the Jim Thorpe award his 3rd season as he lead all of College Football in Interceptions with 9. Rector decided to forgo his last year of eligibility and take his talents to the professional ranks. He did graduate with a bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, a degree much more demanding than the majority of college football players take on.
