North Carolina transfer CB Ty White commits to NC State

North Carolina sophomore cornerback Ty White has flipped to rival NC State via the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3’s Pete Nakos reports. He was On3’s No. 1,074 ranked player (No. 125 CB) in the portal.

Across two seasons (12 games) in Chapel Hill, White recorded five tackles.

Prior to enrolling at North Carolina, White was ranked as a three-star prospect and the No. 487 overall player in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus. He was the No. 48 CB in his class and the No. 58 overall player from the state of Georgia, hailing from Buford.

NC State is coming off an 8-5 campaign, its eighth eight-win season of the Dave Doeren era. The Wolfpack won its first three games and ended their season on a three-game winning streak, downing a Ryan Silverfield-less Memphis program in the Gasparilla Bowl 31-17. They also dominated rival North Carolina 42-19 in Raleigh, marking their fifth consecutive victory over the Tar Heels.

White is one of two former North Carolina players who have transferred to NC State in this cycle. The sophomore cornerback is joined by running back Davion Gause, who rushed for 259 yards and three touchdowns last season.

Although NC State enjoyed an eight-win season, the 2025 season marked the first since 2019 where it failed to crack the AP Poll Rankings at any point in the season. Heading into year 14 of the Doeren era, the Wolfpack will look to surge back to the top of a weakened ACC.

So far, NC State has hauled in 12 additions from the Portal, along with retaining star quarterback CJ Bailey. With Bailey returning, the Wolfpack will surely be pushing for the top of the conference once again next season.
