2027 LB Jake Godfree Visiting NC State This Weekend

2027 linebacker Jake Godfree (6’0”, 220 pounds) is taking an official visit to NC State this weekend.

Godfree continues to be one of the more heavily recruited linebackers in the 2027 class, and the Wolfpack will get their opportunity to make a strong impression as his process moves forward. He also has an official visit scheduled with Stanford.

Recruiting Profile

247Sports rates Godfree as a 3-star prospect.

No. 56 linebacker nationally
No. 84 overall player in Georgia

Offer List

Loaded.

NC State got involved early, offering Godfree back on January 16 of last year, and since then, his recruitment has exploded.

His offer list reads like a roll call of college football powerhouses:

Georgia Tech, Florida State, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee, Stanford, Florida, LSU, Notre Dame, SMU, Kansas State, Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, Miami, Kentucky, Auburn, Michigan, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Pitt, Kansas, Boston College… and more.

Production Machine

Godfree backed up the attention with elite production this past season at North Gwinnett (Suwanee, GA):

141 tackles
18 tackles for loss
8 sacks
5 pass breakups
3 forced fumbles

It looks like NC State is in a good position to land Godfree, with 247Sports’ Michael Clark submitting a crystal ball projection for him to run with the Wolfpack.
