Here is a brief NC State Football recruiting update from the past couple of days.

Diondre Overton to Decide January 3rd

4-star Wide Receiver Diondre Overton, out of Greensboro, North Carolina, told Scout’s Michael Clark that he is planning on making his college decision on January 3rd at the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl.  His Top 5 of NC State, Clemson, UNC, Nebraska, and Tennessee still holds strong.  He plans on taking official visits to all 5 of these schools.  Overton attended NC State’s game vs. Eastern Kentucky and had this to say to Clark:

“It was a good visit,” said the 6-foot-5, 195-pound Overton. “The game day atmosphere was great and the crowd was into it. I was able to watch their offense and how they distribute the ball.

“I spoke with coach (Dave) Doeren, (safeties) coach (Clayton) White and (wide receivers) coach (George) McDonald. They all encouraged me to run with the Pack and to get down there more. The visit helped give me a better feel for things there.” (Scout)

4-Star WR Darnell Salomon Plans NC State Official

4-Star WR Darnell Salomon told Scout’s Corey Bender that he plans on taking official visits to Miami, NC State, Louisville, and South Florida.  He also told Bender that Miami is his leader at this point.

Carlos Becker Plans Official Visit to NC State

3-star Safety Carlos Becker told Scout’s Corey Bender that he plans on taking official visits to NC State, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and probably Florida State.

“I’m very interested in the Pack.  Riley Nicholson went to my high school,” said Becker. “Coach Barlow is a really good coach.”

Kelvin Harmon Talks Official Visit

3-Star 2016 Wide Receiver Kelvin Harmon took an official visit to NC State when the Wolfpack played Eastern Kentucky.  He had this to say about the visit to Scout’s Brian Dohn:

“I learned how important football is to the school and how important the players are to the coaches.  They told me how they need me, not want me, and how I’ll play (the) X (position), which is mostly single covered because of their running game success,” said Harmon. “Stephen Louis hosted me.  We just hung out with other players. They were saying how they love playing for the staff and they’re on the rise.” (Scout)

Harmon has one more official visit scheduled for September 26th at South Carolina, and hopes to drop by Rutgers which is close to home before making his official decision on October 1st.

4-Star 2026 Wide Receiver Davion Brown (6’1″/200) took an unofficial visit to NC State today.

ON3, 247Sports and Rivals all rank Brown as a Top-250 prospect. ON3 and 247Sports both rank him in the Top-100, with 247Sports ranking him as the #16 overall player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, the #3 Wide Receiver and the #1 player in the state of Virginia.

This past season, Brown had 34 receptions for 578 yards and 5 touchdowns for Trinity Episcopal in Richmond, Virginia. He also rushed the ball for 366 yards and 3 touchdowns.
