NC State is trying to reel in a Legacy Recruit in 2026 Tight End/Power Forward Kendre Harrison. Harrison is the nephew of former Wolfpack guard, C.C. Harrison.
Harrison is a unicorn. The young sensation out of Reidsville High School (Reidsville, NC), is a 4-star prospect in both football and basketball. In fact, he’s on track to be a 5-star prospect in both sports, which is unheard of.
In regards to football, Harrison is the #5 overall player nationally in the 2026 class according to 247Sports, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina (Reidsville High School). In basketball, he ranks 20th overall nationally according to ESPN, the #5 Power Forward, and the #1 player in the state of North Carolina.
The #1 player in the state of North Carolina in both sports in 2026.
NC State offered him in football back in January, and he was offered by the basketball team back on September 16th.
I checked in with Harrison to see what it meant to him to be offered in both football and basketball by NC State, and what it was like to visit a few weeks back for the VMI game and watch the basketball team practice.
“It means a lot to be offered in both sports, knowing I can make a difference in the program.”
Harrison made it clear that he intends to play both sports at the next level. He doesn’t find it to be a balancing act at all, playing both basketball and football.
I just have to remember how bad I want it and what my end goal is. I have to remember that I’m doing this for my mom and family.
Harrison enjoyed every aspect of his time on NC State’s campus a few weeks back.
It was a great experience. I loved how the coaches coached basketball and football. I just loved everything about the visit.
Uncle C.C. is a hero of Kendre’s, and he has learned so much from him, on the court, and off the court.
He has taught me a lot of things about basketball and outside of basketball, especially throughout my recruitment process.
Hear the staff is going after some transfers to fill guard spot. If they land a decent backup PG/Combo Guard this late in the game, I will be truly amazed and take back all the bad stuff I said about them. If we only had 1 scholly and we had to choose between a decent PG transfer and the Greek 7 footer, which would most people choose? I think I would go with the 7 footer and take my chances on the backup PG being Lil’ Corch, Henderson, or Twin. Also, someone on another blog was lamenting the fact that… Read more »
wolfpack74 gdtann Wolfer96 Yeah where is old 70? I miss that troll.
gdtann Wolfer96 wolfpack74 I must be growing on you. This is the second time that you have agreed with me since Kyle and Lacey departed.
Wolfer96 wolfpack74 I’d honestly would feel more comfortable if we can add a combo guard grad transfer somehow. Something may in the works since we cancelled that visit with the UNCA guy. We’ll see. If we get a combo guard who can score, I’d be happy with how Gott has rebounded from Lacey leaving.
wolfpack74 We could use a PG and/or that 7 footer from europe. However, after losing Turner and unexpectedly losing Lacey who we’ll be missing the most in terms of scoring, creating, and ball handling; the question now is less to do with depth or positional but who will make up the scoring? No matter who we bring in can they replace the scoring of a 5th year senior and a 4th year junior? I see Kirk more for depth and coming off the bench to give guys a breather the 1st season. Not a guy that will come in right… Read more »
Can Gott now get what we need?
