Miami linebacker Raul Aguirre is transferring to NC State, officially signing with the Wolfpack less than 24 hours after entering the Transfer Portal.

Aguirre appeared in all 16 games for Miami this season, finishing with 43 tackles, two tackles for loss, and one pass breakup. While his overall PFF grade for the season came in at 63.1, his run defense stood out, earning an 86.3 grade, which ranked third on Miami’s defense.

As a true freshman, Aguirre played in 13 games and logged seven tackles in limited snaps. He took a larger role the following season, finishing with 27 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and a forced fumble across 10 games. During that sophomore campaign, Aguirre earned an elite 82.5 overall PFF grade, showing significant growth as a defender.

Coming out of high school, Aguirre was a consensus four-star recruit in the 2023 class. Rivals ranked him as the No. 159 overall player nationally, the No. 9 linebacker, and the No. 9 prospect in the state of Georgia.

Aguirre has one year of eligibility remaining and adds immediate depth and physicality to NC State’s linebacker room.

With his commitment, Aguirre becomes the 17th transfer addition for the Wolfpack this cycle, joining: Oregon Tight End Vander Ploog, Marshall Defensive Tackle KaTron Evans, Appalachian State Wide Receiver Davion Dozier, Penn State Linebacker DaKaari Nelson, UNC Cornerback Ty White, Texas Offensive Lineman Daniel Cruz, EDGE Harvey Dyson, Alcorn St. Wide Receiver Tyran Warren, UNC Running Back Davion Gause, Montana St. Tight End Hunter Provience, Miami Wide Receiver Chance Robinson, Penn State Safety King Mack, Georgia Cornerback Ondre Evans, Arkansas State Punter Jackson Waller, ECU Offensive Lineman Jimarion McCrimon and Buffalo Wide Receiver Victor Snow.
