BREAKING: 3-star DL Adrian Farrow flips from FAU to NC State

Even though signing day is Wednesday, NC State’s 2025 recruiting class is not done. The Wolfpack added one more to its group as Miami (Fla.) Norland three-star defensive lineman Adrian Farrow flipped from Florida Atlantic to NC State on Monday afternoon.
Farrow, who impressed the Pack’s coaching staff at a camp last summer, had not signed with the Owls yet, which left the door open for another program to jump back in. NC State did so, and it picked up its 22nd commitment of the recruiting cycle.
The 6-foot-3- 240-pound defensive lineman is the second flip that NC State has logged from FAU. The Pack also garnered a commitment from FAU wide receiver commit Teddy Hoffman, who is already on campus as an early enrollee in Raleigh, during the early signing period.
Farrow ranks as the No. 98 defensive lineman in the country and is the No. 120 overall recruit in the state of Florida, according to On3’s rankings. He was the Owls’ highest-rated defensive commit in its 2025 class before the Wolfpack completed the flip.

Farrow posted a standout senior season at Norland. He logged 83 total tackles (62 solo, 21 assists) with 18.0 for a loss, including 12.0 sacks, in 12 games. That was an uptick from his junior campaign, which featured just 46 total stops, including 14.0 for a loss with 8.0 sacks in 11 games.
The defensive lineman is the fifth along the front to commit to the Wolfpack in the 2025 cycle. He joins three-star junior college defensive end AJ Prim; Palm Coast (Fla.) Flagler three-star EDGE Colby Cronk; Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage three-star Omarion Abraham; and Loganville (Ga.) Grayson three-star Josiah Victor.
