3-Star 2025 Running Back RJ Boyd (5’10″/210) confirmed with me he will be taking an unofficial visit to NC State next week on March 22nd. This will be Boyd’s first visit to NC State.

“Yeah, it will be my first one. Looking forward to it! I have only visited the University of Florida for a Junior Day,” said Boyd. “I plan to visit Wisconsin, Duke, ECU, Coastal Carolina, Kent State, Georgia Southern, USF, and University of Miami…maybe Arkansas State and WKU too.”

Boyd hasn’t scheduled any Official Visits yet, but he is looking to do so soon.

The Wolfpack offered Boyd back on January 17th, and it meant a lot to him .

“That offer was awesome! I felt it was big coming from a team with a winning tradition, good conference, and a good coaching staff,” said Boyd. “I was very grateful that they took a chance on a small town kid, when they could have been going after other running backs.”

Ever since picking up the offer, Boyd has maintained a great relationship with Coach Goebbel.

What’s your relationship been like with NC State since they started recruiting you?

“Man, it has been great! Coach Goebbel has been on me consistently. He keeps it real, and I have a good relationship with him. He told me I’m in the Top 3 of their board,” said Boyd. “I hear from them multiple times a day. They tell me ‘Come join the Wolfpack.’ They talk about the coaching stability, the campus, and how they can make me a better man and a running back.”

Originally, Boyd planned on committing on April 1st, but it looks like he might delay it, but not for long.

“I wanted to commit on April 1 (my twin brothers birthday), but I think I’m going to hold off for a little while because I want to take official visits,” said Boyd. “I don’t want to commit and then decommit. My parents preach loyalty.”

According to Boyd, the Wolfpack has put themselves in a good position.

“NC State is in great standing with me. They are pretty high in the list of schools I’m considering. They show that they want me and have been straightforward with me, and trust is key to me and my family, ” said Boyd. “I also like Wisconsin, Kent State, USF, University of Miami, Coastal Carolina, Arkansas State, James Madison, Elon, and Georgia Southern. Really any school that is taking their time to recruit me, I like. It’s starting to get overwhelming, so I may commit soon.”

Boyd rushed for 694 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns for Ware County (Waycross, Georgia) last season as a Junior.
