Early years
Born in Charlotte, NC, Bacon fell in love with football at a very young age. His family was incredibly supportive, and when they moved to Raleigh before he started High School, they were able to get him into Wake Forest - the #1 NC High School Football Program. He was highly rated as a defensive tackle, showing speed and power, but some colleges noted his somewhat subpar tackling ability - although he did have a high rate of pressures.
His father died of pancreatic cancer just months before his 18th birthday.
College career
Bacon was recruited by a handful of colleges, but chose to stay in-state to be near his friends and family and went to Appalachian State. He saw two starts as a true freshman and performed adequately, but his college career didn't take off until his second year.
During his second year, he recorded 9 sacks and 3 assisted sacks for a total of 10.5 sacks, along with 11 STFL and 8 ATFL. In his third year, his numbers improved and he recorded 11 sacks and 4 assisted sacks for a total of 13 sacks, along with 13 STFL and 6 ATFL.
His statistics, strength, and speed put him solidly in the top 10 DLs for the upcoming draft class.
