NC State All-ACC CB Aydan White Announces He is Entering the Transfer Portal

Published

on

NC State All-ACC Cornerback Aydan White announced this evening that he is entering his name into the Transfer Portal.

This is a devastating blow to the Wolfpack’s 2024 secondary. White earned 1st Team All-ACC honors in 2022, and earned 3rd Team honors this year. To be honest, I thought there was a chance that White might forego his final year of collegiate eligibility, and head to the NFL, but I didn’t see this coming.

White ranked 2nd on the team in interceptions this season with 2, and led the Pack with 10 pass breakups. His PFF grade of 72.2 ranked 5th on the Wolfpack defense this season, and his Coverage grade of 71.7 ranked 3rd.

White was a 3-Star prospect in the Wolfpack’s 2020 recruiting class, and 247Sports ranked him as the #16 overall player in the state of North Carolina.

While it hasn’t been made official yet, it looks like NC State might have to replace both of their starting Cornerbacks in 2024.

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. will Take an Official Visit at NC State Next Week

By

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. (6’1″/195) confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next week beginning on May 7th.

After receiving an offer from NC State yesterday, it didn’t take him long to set up the visit.

Martin Jr. is familiar with NC State, because he was recruited by Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson before he left West Virginia to come to Raleigh. Even though he never coached him, a relationship was established.

Martin Jr.’s connections to NC State are deeper than that. Former NC State Cornerback Derrek Pitts, who is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs, is his cousin.

This past year, Martin Jr. recorded 45 tackles, 2 interceptions and 6 pass breakups for Akron, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. His PFF Grade was 68.9.

In 2022, he had 53 tackles, 1 interception and 1 pass breakup, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. Martin Jr.’s PFF Grade was 60.9.

In 2019, as a Freshman for West Virginia, Martin Jr. earned PFF Freshman All-American honors, recording a grade of 70.6, with 50 tackles and 3 pass breakups.
