NC State 4-Star RB Target Kentrell Rinehart will Announce His College Decision Next Week

4-Star Running Back Kentrell Rinehart (6’2″/220) took an Official Visit to NC State last weekend, and he has announced that he will be announcing his college decision next week, on July 5th.

July 5th commitment day.

ESPN and Rivals both rank Rinehart as a 4-star prospect, with the former ranking him as the #22 Running Back in the class nationally, and the #11 player in the state of Ohio. ESPN ranks Rinehart as the #270 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class.

Back on February 10th, Rinehart released a Top 5 of NC State, Syracuse, Indiana, Kentucky and Minnesota. He took his first Official Visit to Minnesota on the 2nd weekend in June. Rinehart was supposed to take an Official Visit to Syracuse last weekend, but it was cancelled. Since releasing that Top-5, he has also picked up offers from Miami, Iowa and Missouri.

Rinehart ran a 4.5 40-yard dash at Ohio State’s camp earlier this month.

His Junior stats this past season (at Bishop Ready) were video game numbers, rushing for 2,837 yards (8.3 yards per carry) and 42 touchdowns.

From what I’m hearing, I believe NC State is out front in Rinehart’s recruitment at this point. I project that the Wolfpack will add their 2nd 4-Star prospect to their 2025 recruiting class next Friday.
