PI EXCLUSIVE: 2026 QB Jayvon Gilmore Breaks Down Recent NC State Visit

Published

2 months ago

on

2026 Quarterback Jayvon Gilmore (6’6″/195) took an unofficial visit to NC State yesterday, and I caught up with him to get his take on the visit.

When did NC State start recruiting you and what coach is primarily recruiting you?

They started recruiting me when I got to Gaffney and Coach Roper was really impressed with my film of last season.

What was your visit like? What did you learn? What did you enjoy?

The visit was great. I got to tour the facility and see how everything works, and learned how it is being a player at NC State.

If you got to watch practice, what were your thoughts on how the Wolfpack looked? Did any players standout?

I was able to watch how Coach Roper develops his QB’s threw drills and coaching them up. One player who really stood out is the Coastal Transfer Grayson McCall. Watching how he lead his team in drills and practice today shows how much he’s buying in to being a part of NC State!

What were the conversations like with the coaches?

Coach Doeren and Roper and I all had good conversations. They really made me feel at home and explain why they recruited me. Also, Coach Roper was able to dig in on what is truly means to be a Quarterback.

Where does NC State stand in your recruitment? Which schools are recruiting you the hardest?

NC State stands really strong in my recruitment. When a school is able to show you how much they love you as soon as possible, you can’t find that nowhere else. It really could be a place I call home! Lastly, the schools who are recruiting me the hardest are Duke, Nebraska, South Carolina, Florida, WakeForest and NC State!

_______

Gilmore, who plays for Gaffney in Elgin, South Carolina, is an unranked player, but he does hold offers from NC State (2/20/24), Virginia Tech, UCF and others.

As a Sophomore this past season at Ben Lippen (Columbia, SC), Gilmore threw for 1,767 yards and 22 touchdowns (7 interceptions).
