Former NFL QB Trent Dilfer Praises Wolfpack Commit Devin Leary

Published

on

#QBU is at it again.

Next year, NC State will bring in 6’1, 190lbs QB Devin Leary. He’s a 4-star signal caller from Timber Creek, NJ who recently was named NJ’s Gatorade Player of the Year.

Everyone who has seen Leary has been impressed, even former NFL QB Trent Dilfer who just yesterday had this to say in response to the announcement of Leary’s POY award:


Dilfer runs the ‘Elite 11’ premier quarterback competition, which Leary was invited to this past year. Here he is showing off his arm during the pro day workout.

According to SB Nation, Leary scored a 44, which was best on the day and only one point off of Tua Tagovailoa’s 45 from last year.

Among the alums of the Elite 11 are Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, and Matthew Stafford.

4-Star Safety Jontae Gilbert Has Locked in an Official Visit to NC State

Published

4-Star 2025 Safety Jontae Gilbert (6’1″/180) confirmed with me that he has locked in an Official Visit to NC State for the weekend of September 27-29, and he plans for it to be his last Official Visit.

Back in July of 2022, Gilbert committed to Ohio St., but last July he decommitted from the Buckeyes.

Gilbert also has Official Visits scheduled for UCF, South Carolina and USC.

At one point, Gilbert was a 5-star prospect, but now he is a consensus 4-star prospect, and a consensus Top-275 player. Rivals ranks him as the #70 overall player nationally in the 2025 recruiting class, and the #8 player in the state of Georgia.

NC State offered Gilbert in April of last year.

Recently, he has taken unofficial visits to, or been visited by Louisville, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia St., Oregon, Clemson, Texas and South Carolina.

While he doesn’t have an Official Visit set up with Georgia, the Bulldogs are obviously a big player in Gilbert’s recruitment.

Gilbert plays for Douglass High School in Atlanta, Georgia.

According to a source, 2025 3-Star Edge Nik Alston (6’3″/260) has locked in an Official Visit to NC State for June 7-9.

He also has Official Visits scheduled for Washington, Minnesota, Liberty and Tulane. Honestly, some of the dates that I have found overlap at this point, but these were all reported at one time.

This past season, Alston had 37 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries.

When I spoke with Alston in the past, he said NC State would be at the top of his list.
