3-Star 2026 Defensive Tackle Carmelo McKenzie (6’2″/290) has verbally committed to NC State after wrapping up an Official Visit to Raleigh this weekend.

After a lot of prayer, conversations with my family, and trusting the process, I’m excited to announce that I’m 1000% committed to NC STATE 🐺🔴⚫️ .
Thank you to every coach who believed in me throughout this journey. Now it’s time to get to work. #GoPack #Committed pic.twitter.com/G0qW4Airft

ON3 and Rivals both rank McKenzie as a 3-Star Prospect out of the state of Florida (IMG Academy/Bradenton, FL),

Last Fall, McKenzie had 37 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 8 QB hurries for the Ascenders.

McKenzie also had Official Visits setup with Boston College (June 6), Delaware (June 19) and Kansas State (June 12), but it looks like those might not be necessary.

NC State offered him a scholarship on October 24th last Fall.
