— NC State Men’s Basketball (@PackMensBball) June 28, 2024
“My name is Trey Parker. I’m an incoming Freshman from Fayetteville, North Carolina.”
“I was recently playing at Overtime Elite. It was a great experience. A whole lot of development and great energy.”
“Coach Levi (Watkins) recruited me. As soon as I got to the campus, it was a great experience. They just gave me that big inspiration to feel like I’m home, and feel like a great student outside of basketball.”
“I knew I wanted to be a part of the Pack back in November of 2022. I just felt like it was a great fit for me.”
“Living in North Carolina, and now playing in North Carolina, is a big opportunity. There’s a lot of people from North Carolina looking up to me, and I want to give them what they want to see.”
“Being close, allows for them to bring the whole city out. It just feels like I’m already at home.”
“Y’all stay tuned. Showtime is coming this year.”
_______
Parker originally signed with NC State in November of 2022, as a member of the 2023 recruiting class. He decided to reclassify, making him a member of the 2024 class.
Parker is a consensus 3-Star prospect, though 247Sports’ Composite Rankings have him as a 4-Star prospect. 247 ranks him as the #135 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class, the #26 Shooting Guard, and the #13 player in the state of Georgia.

Thanks for this portal update. Seems like KK can be a bit more picky this year.
A luxury for sure. I like Nutter’s size and name. Butler’s 3 pt percentage is exciting. But we need a shooter who is willing to play defense. Horne, O Connell, Morrell, and Taylor may have been the best defensive backcourt in Wolfpack history. Underappreciated
