3-Star 2025 Cornerback Cam Strong (6’1″/170) attended NC State’s Junior Day yesterday. Strong plays for T L Hanna High School in Anderson, South Carolina. Rivals ranks Strong as the #8 player in the state of South Carolina in the 2025 recruiting class, and the #41 Cornerback nationally.
I caught up with Strong to get his take on the experience, and learn where NC State stands in his recruitment at this points.
Can you describe what the format of the day was? What did you do?
It was mainly a learning day. I got to learn a lot from the coaches and the nutrition staff on how they treat their players. Also, spent a lot of time with Coach (Brian) Mitchell (Cornerbacks Coach).
What was your favorite part of the experience?
My favorite part about the visit was just learning about their weightlifting/nutrition program. I gained a lot of knowledge in just 30 minutes.
Were you able to have any conversations with the coaching staff? If so, how did that go? What’s their recruiting pitch to you? What’s your relationship like with them?
I spent a lot of time with Coach Mitchell yesterday. My family and I talked with him a good bit and we were mainly just getting to know each other better. Also, I talked with coach Doeren. He was very welcoming to me and my family. Most of the staff I talked with told me that I was a priority. That’s always good to hear.
What’s your relationship like with Coach Gibson? What is your perception of the Wolfpack Defense?
I’m still trying to get to know Coach Gibson a little more., but I was able to sit down with Coach Mitchell and go over some schemes of the defense. They’re very similar to what we do at my school now.
Where does NC State currently stand in your recruitment? What schools are currently ranking the highest for you?
NC State will be one of the top schools I’ll be considering whenever I get to that point, but as of now, my recruitment is still 100% open.
