This Tuesday, a new recruiting window opened up where recruits could interact with college coaches in-person, as long as they are on a college campus. Which recruits made their way to Raleigh this week thus far, and who is showing up today?

Odom plays right in the Wolfpack’s backyard, playing for Panther Creek High School, in Cary, North Carolina. ON3 and ESPN both rate him as a 4-star prospect. ON3 ranks him as the #120 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, the #11 Defensive Linemen, and the #6 player in the state of North Carolina.

As a Junior this past season, Odom had 54 tackles, 22 tackles for loss and 4 sacks for the Catamounts.

Sowells’ has released a Top-10 which includes NC State, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Penn St., South Carolina, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Indiana and Virginia.

Daniels had 31 receptions, 700 all purpose yards and 5 touchdowns for the Greater Atlanta Christian School (Norcross, GA) last season.

4-Star 2026 Wide Receiver Dyzier Carter (5’10″/180) confirmed with me he will be on campus today. Carter is the #24 overall player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports, the #4 Wide Receiver, and the #3 player in the state of Virginia.

ON3 ranks Pavey as the #4 player in the state of Kentucky (Robert A. Taft High/Burlington, KY)

NC State has already made quite the impression. They only offered him on April 24th. Getting an Official Visit scheduled a week after offering a player is a good sign.

When Pavey released his Top-8 back in February, NC State was obviously on the list. It consisted of Miami (OH), Toledo, Boston College, West Virginia, Pitt, Cincinnati, Indiana and Purdue. Wisconsin is also new to the scene, offering Pavey on April 21st.

As a Junior, Pavey had 46 tackles 7.5 sacks and 9 tackles for loss.

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.
