Is NC State Going to Flip a 4-Star RB Who Just Decommitted from Michigan State?

Published

on

Yesterday news broke that 4-Star 2024 Running Back Anthony Carrie (6’0″/200) had decommitted from Michigan State. Carrie originally verbally committed to the Spartans on June 24th.

Despite the fact that Carrie was committed to MSU, that didn’t stop NC State from turning up the heat in their recruitment of him. Carrie took an Official Visit to Raleigh the first weekend of November, when the Wolfpack beat Miami 20-6.

Sophomore NC State Nose Tackle Brandon Cleveland went to Carollwood Day High School in Tampa, Florida, which is where Carrie goes as well. Carrie told me that Cleveland, his former teammate, is recruiting him hard, trying to get him to flip his commitment. Cleveland is like an older brother to Carrie.

It looks like things are pointing in NC State’s favor at this point. NC State insiders at 247Sports and ON3 have both projected that Carrie will in fact flip his commitment to NC State.

This would be massive for the Pack, especially considering the fact that Sophomore Michael Allen just entered the Transfer Portal. Carrie is a big time prospect, ranked 120th overall nationally by Rivals. They also rank him as the #10 overall Running Back.

As a Senior, Carrie rushed for 1,026 yards (7.8 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns in 9 regular season games. Carrie also had 2 touchdown receptions.

Where Does NC State Stand with 4-Star Guard/Forward Bryce Heard Heading Into Today’s Announcement?

4-Star 2025 Guard/Forward Bryce Heard (6’6″/190) will be announcing his college decision today at 2:30pm. He will be choosing between NC State, USC, Mississippi St. and Xavier.

Heard took an Official Visit to NC State beginning on June 23rd.

247Sports, ESPN and Rivals all rank Heard as a 4-Star prospect. Rivals ranks him as the #95 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. 247Sports ranks him as the #16 Combo Guard in the class, and they also rank him as the #2 player in the state of Illinois.

As a Junior this past season at Homewood-Flossmoor (Chicago, Illinois), Heard averaged 19 point, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

From what I’m hearing, I predict Heard will commit to Run with the Wolfpack this afternoon, and I also predict he will reclassify to the 2024 class, filling the last spot on the NC State roster for this upcoming season.

On Thursday, Defensive End Mykah Newton verbally committed to NC State. I caught up with Newton to get his take on his decision to Run with the Wolfpack.

What was it about NC State’s Football Program that stood out over the rest?

What really stood out was just the amazing love the whole staff showed and the constant recruitment they showed.

Why do you believe NC State is the best place for you to be developed?

I believe its the best place because it fits my personality and who I am as a player, and also defensively, I fit in their scheme.

What were the most important factors you were looking for in a school?

The most important factors were academics, how the coaches can help me get to my goal and how they can help produce me into the player I want to be.

What are your thoughts on NC State’s 2025 recruiting class?

I feel amazing about my class. We are very underrated and we are going to shock all of College Football.

What do you think of where NC State’s football program is at, and where it’s heading?

It’s heading in a very good direction and they’re going to constantly progress throughout the years.

On Thursday, the #3 Center in the 2025 recruiting class, Isaac Sowells Jr., committed to NC State. I caught up with Sowells Jr. to get his take on his decision to Run with the Wolfpack.

What was it about NC State’s Football Program that stood out over the rest?

There was no point in my recruitment where they tried to buy my love and always kept it real.

Why do you believe NC State is the best place for you to be developed?

Coach 2J and the NC State program both know how to develop All-American level Centers and Rimington Finalist/Winners. I believed they had the best chance to develop me I to that level and beyond.

What were the most important factors you were looking for in a school?

Connection with Coaching Staff, opportunity to play early, and fan engagement(I Don’t Want To Play In A Half Full Stadium).

What are your thoughts on NC State’s 2025 recruiting class?

We got some big pieces at the Offensive Skill and Defensive Skill positions. We got me and Gibbs and hopefully 1 more Offensive Lineman and the D-Line is solid. Having a QB and a TE committed too is big‼️

What do you think of where NC State’s football program is at, and where it’s heading?

With the ACC now being 1 big conference and not Atlantic/Coastal Divisions, things are very favorable. I do believe NC State can win the ACC for years to come.
