REPORT: QB Gunner Rivers, son of Philip Rivers, predicted by On3 to commit to NC State

An article by Athalon Sports (Yahoo!) pointed out that Rival’s (now On3) vice president of recruiting, Steve Wiltfong publically logged an ‘expert prediction’ on their site for Philip Rivers son, Gunner Rivers, to commit to NC State.

This would be huge news for NC State and a huge scoop for On3, as many believed Rivers was destined for Auburn.

4-Star 2027 Quarterback Gunner Rivers (6’3″/205) took an unofficial visit to NC State for the Wolfpack’s rivalry game against UNC this season.

Gunner is the #41 overall player nationally in the 2027 recruiting class according to 247Sports, the #6 Quarterback and the #1 player in the state of Alabama.
