Ladies and Gentlemen…it happened.

4-Star 2027 Quarterback Gunner Rivers, the son of legendary Wolfpack Quarterback Philip Rivers, has verbally committed to NC State!

Last Fall, Rivers put up eye-popping numbers for St. Michael Catholic as a junior, underneath the tutelage of head coach…Philip Rivers.

  • 69.1% completion percentage
  • 3,176 passing yards
  • 46 touchdowns
  • 5 interceptions
  • 131.8 NFL passer rating

According to 247Sports, he ranks as:

  • #42 overall player nationally
  • #6 quarterback nationally
  • #1 player in Alabama

That’s blue-chip territory.

Rivers is the:

  • The 19th highest-rated prospect to commit to the Wolfpack in the 247Sports Composite database era
  • The 7th highest-rated recruit under Dave Doeren according to 247Sports Composite Rankings

Landing Rivers isn’t just symbolic because of the last name. It’s a recruiting win on a national scale. This commitment is one that could lead to dominos falling, ending in the best recruiting class of the Dave Doeren era.

But of course…it makes for one of the coolest full-circle stories in college football.
