PI EXCLUSIVE: 4-Star WR Dyzier Carter Breaks Down Recent Visit to NC State

Published

on

4-star 2026 Wide Receiver Dyzier Carter (5’10″/180) took an unofficial visit to NC State this past Friday. I caught up with him to get his take on the visit.

When did NC State start recruiting you and what coach is primarily recruiting you?

To be honest, no one was really recruiting me to my knowledge. I reached out to them about their Spring practice schedule. It’s a school I’ve been interested in.

What was your visit like? What did you learn? What did you enjoy?

I really enjoyed the visit. I was able to tour the facility, sit in on a position meeting, and watch an up-tempo practice. I learned that the program is a tight knit family and a lot of the staff members are graduates from the school.

If you got to watch practice, what were your thoughts on how the Wolfpack looked? Did any players standout?

While watching practice, I noticed that #10 Kevin “KC” Concepcion reminded me of myself. I feel like that’s how I play in the slot position.

What were the conversations like with the coaches?

I was able to speak with Coach Doeren. He seemed to be a really good coach, that’s passionate about the program. I met with Coach Phillips in his office after practice. He definitely keeps it real and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He’s about building relationships and the receivers that he hand picks are fit for his position room. I walked out of his office after our conversation with a lot of respect for him.

Where does NC State stand in your recruitment? Which schools are recruiting you the hardest?

My recruiting journey is still early and I’m just getting a feel for schools that are interested in me and that I am interested in.

Published

on

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.

Gilbert plays for Douglass High School in Atlanta, Georgia.
