PI EXCLUSIVE: 3-Star QB Jayvon Gilmore Knows NC State is a “Very Good Spot”

Published

Last Saturday 2026 3-Star Quarterback Jayvon Gilmore (6’6″/195) was in attendance at NC State’s 2024 Spring Game. I caught up with him to get his thoughts.

What were your overall thoughts of the game? What excited you about the way this team played?

Amazing! With the offense scoring over 50 points in the Spring Game, that flat out shocked me!

Who stood out you from the game?

CJ Bailey & Grayson (McCall), both of them truly were able to move the ball constantly making big time throws and runs!

Did you get to interact with any of the players? Do you have any relationships with any of the Wolfpack players?

Wasn’t really able to get in touch with the players due to them trying to stay focused because of their game. I was able to talk to NC State Commit Will Wilson (QB) and he told me everything that helped him with choosing NC State and why he committed.

What were your interactions with the Coaches like?

As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the head and assistant recruiter. Then coach
Roper was waiting for me, walking me out to the event where Coach Doeren loved on us and truly welcomed us home!

Where does NC State currently in your recruitment?

All I know is NC State is in a very good spot!
