4-Star 2025 Safety Jontae Gilbert (6’1″/180) confirmed with me that he has locked in an Official Visit to NC State for the weekend of September 27-29, and he plans for it to be his last Official Visit.
Back in July of 2022, Gilbert committed to Ohio St., but last July he decommitted from the Buckeyes.
Gilbert also has Official Visits scheduled for UCF, South Carolina and USC.
At one point, Gilbert was a 5-star prospect, but now he is a consensus 4-star prospect, and a consensus Top-275 player. Rivals ranks him as the #70 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, and the #8 player in the state of Georgia.
NC State offered Gilbert in April of last year.
Recently, he has taken unofficial visits to, or been visited by Louisville, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia St., Oregon, Clemson, Texas and South Carolina.
While he doesn’t have an Official Visit set up with Georgia, the Bulldogs are obviously a big player in Gilbert’s recruitment.
Gilbert plays for Douglass High School in Atlanta, Georgia.
So did the PI staff take vacation? Are they too shocked at Miranda leaving to even comment? It has been over a week since any news was posted.
Jaden Bradley to Arizona.
“Had a good conversation” is an odd phrase. Normally you hear ‘after visiting‘.
You’d love to have an even taller ‘unstoppable force’ but it’s a long road from ‘being offered’ to actually putting on the jersey. Not going to get excited about this guy for another year, if he even does sign with us.
Don’t worry, he will not be coming to State. I am surprised that Burns came back.
I’m not worried about his weight. He will get in shape under KK. Has anyone noticed the pics of Burns from the beginning of last year to now.?
Another Beeja. Needs to loose 50 lbs. and develop an outside shot.
I think Dave Doeren might also be interested.
Wow! That is a big man!
big but svelt for 300 lbs!
