NC State will have quite a few noteworthy recruits at the game tomorrow, when the Wolfpack hosts the Thundering Herd at 2pm.

According to a source, here are some of the big names who will be in attendance.

2024 Rutgers Verbal Commit Ben Black (3-Stars) – Black (6’0″/180) verbally committed to Rutgers on June 11th. While Black is listed as a Wide Receiver, Athlete and Cornerback, NC State is recruiting him to play in the secondary. While he doesn’t hold an offer yet, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him pick one up in the near future. Mallard plays for Mallard Creek in Charlotte.

2025 Defensive Lineman Trajen Odom – Odom is a local kid, that plays right down the road at Panther Creek in Cary, North Carolina. Through 6 games, Odom has recorded 35 tackles 15 tackles for loss. NC State is high on Odom, though they haven’t offered yet. Odom already holds offers from UNC, Wake Forest, Cal, UNLV, Oregon St, Missouri and others .

3-Star 2025 Cornerback Zah Jackson (5’10″/180) – On October 4, NC State offered Jackson. He plays for Huntington, in Huntington, West Virginia. Jackson is the #1 player in the state of West Virginia in the 2025 recruiting class. Jackson already holds offers from Marshall, App St, West Virginia and others.

2025 Cornerback Cam Strong – Strong (6’1″/170) plays for TL Hanna in Anderson, South Carolina. He already holds offers from Duke, West Virginia and others. NC State is high on Strong. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Wolfpack offer him in the near future.

Last night NC State 2024 4-Star ATH verbal commit Ronnie Royal III snagged one of the best interceptions I’ve EVER seen in the Alabama 5A state championship game.

Royal’s Gulf Shores squad defeated Ramsay 21-14. On the other side of the ball, he finished with 22 carries for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Heading into the game last night, Royal had 2,470 all-purpose yards on the year, with 884 rushing, 435 receiving, 606 on punt returns and 154 on kickoff returns. Prior to last night, he had 24 touchdowns on the season, with 15 rushing, 1 receiving, 4 on punt return, 2 on kickoff return and 2 interceptions returned for TD’s.

NC State is getting a gem.

Will NC State Be Able to Hold Onto 4-Star Quarterback Cedrick Bailey?

Ever since Miami offered NC State Quarterback commit Cedrick Bailey on November 19th, there has been a question mark surrounding his commitment to the Wolfpack. The 4-Star prospect lives 30 minutes or so from Miami. Two of his teammates are verbally committed to the Hurricanes: 4-Star WR Joshisa Trader and 4-Star ATH Zaquan Patterson.

Today, Bailey played in the state championship game, and his elite Chaminade squad blistered Clearwater 56-0. Bailey was 17 of 23 for 322 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Bailey still has an NC State logo on the back of his helmet, and Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren was in attendance today on the sideline.

“It’s great to see to have my coach out here and he seeing me shining and winning,” said Bailey, who also wore an NC State decal on the back of his helmet. “It’s great to have Coach Doreen over here. I put on a show for him and those guys at N.C. State.” (Link)

There were also Miami coaches in attendance.

After the game, Bailey wouldn’t definitively say if his commitment was still solid with the Wolfpack.

“It’s kind of iffy right now,” said Bailey. “I think I have my mind set on what I want to do right now, so we’re going to see on signing day.” (Link)

Bailey’s Senior campaign has been outstanding, throwing for 47 touchdowns, and only 6 interceptions, completing 72% of his passes.

If the Wolfpack can hold onto him, they will be getting a good one.

Cards on the table…I like that he had the NC State logo on the back of his helmet…but I still don’t feel confident heading into signing day on December 20th.
