4-Star Center Roosevelt Wheeler Taking an Official Visit to NC State this Weekend
2021 Center Roosevelt Wheeler (6’10″/220) will be taking an Official Visit to NC State this weekend.
It’s rare for a Junior to take an Official Visit, so Wheeler’s interest in NC State must be high.
Rivals ranks Wheeler as the #56 overall player in the 2021 recruiting class, and the #9 Center. 247Sports ranks him as the #3 player in the state of Virginia. Wheeler plays for John Marshall in Richmond.
