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 after playing in only 4 games this season. As a True Freshman, Vereen played in 10 games, catching 4 passes for 65 yards. This year he didn’t catch a single pass.

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.

Vereen is 1 of 11 NC State players to enter the Transfer Portal this year.
