Vereen only played in 4 games this season for the Wolfpack, so this season counts as a Redshirt season. He was listed as sick when he missed LA Tech and Clemson, but returned to play a total of three snaps against Northern Illinois and Wake Forest. He hasn’t seen the field since then.

It was a weird saga for Vereen this year. As far as I can tell, there were numerous games in which he wasn’t on the sideline with the team, and was watching from home. No explanation for Vereen’s absence has been given all year.

I will say, after the workload he received as a True Freshman, it’s not shocking to see him opt to go into the Transfer Portal. As a True Freshman, Vereen played in 10 games, catching 4 passes for 65 yards.

Vereen was a 4-Star prospect in NC State’s 2023 recruiting class out of Havelock High School in Havelock, North Carolina. ON3 ranked him as the #263 overall player nationally in the 2023 recruiting class, and the #8 player in the state of North Carolina. ESPN ranked him as the #8 Tight End nationally in his class.

He has three years of eligibility remaining.

Six NC State players have now entered the Transfer Portal this season:

TE Juice Vereen
OL Sean Hill
DT DJ Jackson
LB Wyatt Wright
LB Jayland Parker
WR KC Concepcion
DE Red Hibbler
