NC State Now has 8 Four-Star Commits in their 2025 Football Recruiting Class

Since recruiting databases updated their rankings this week, three 2025 NC State commits have been given their 4th star. Center Isaac Sowells Jr. soared in the new rankings, jumping 500 spots in 247Sports’ rankings, landing at #104, making him the highest Offensive Lineman to commit to NC State since 2010.

Linebacker Terris Dudley (6’3″/200) jumped into ON3’s Top-250, ranking him as the #239 overall player nationally, the #25 Linebacker and #10 player in the state of Ohio. ON3 ranks him as the 2nd highest ranked player in the Wolfpack’s recruiting class. Dudley flipped his commitment from Toledo to NC State.

Wide Receiver Teddy Hoffmann (6’0″/165) just received his 4th star from Rivals. Hoffmann flipped his commitment from FAU to NC State on National Signing Day. As a Senior this season for Atlantic High School (Boca Raton, FL), Hoffmann went bananas, with 69 receptions for 1,179 yards and 23 touchdowns. Rivals ranks him as the 3rd highest ranked player in the Wolfpack’s 2025 recruiting class.

Sowells Jr. was always one of the highest ranked Interior Offensive Linemen in the 2025 recruiting class, and earned All-American honors. He deserved his flowers. NC State’s coaching staff did an incredible job flipping Dudley and Hoffmann, who were both massively underrated in the recruiting world at the time. Also, the Wolfpack coaching staff flipping 4-Star Running Back Deandre Desinor from West Virginia on January 7th was quite a feat.
