3-star S D’Various Surratt commits to NC State
A long-standing relationship with NC State co-defensive coordinator Charlton Warren helped the Wolfpack enter the mix for Shelby (N.C.) Crest three-star safety D’Various Surratt at the beginning of the year.
The No. 27 recruit in North Carolina, who allowed that relationship to blossom since, took it a step forward by committing to the Pack on Tuesday evening. Surratt picked the Wolfpack over Duke, North Carolina and Virginia Tech in a ceremony at his high school.
Surratt’s bond with Warren started at UNC, and it only grew stronger when the secondary coach arrived at NC State. That led Surratt to the Wolfpack, which edged out its ACC competition to land his services in the 2026 cycle.
The 6-foot, 185-pound safety took an official visit to NC State on June 6-8, which followed his trip to UNC. He was expected to make visits at Duke and Virginia Tech later in the month, but it seems like he didn’t as NC State impressed during his time in Raleigh.
