Mid-summer update: What I’m hearing NC State still wants to add to its 2026 recruiting class

NC State hosted more than 40 prospects for official visits in June, landing a dozen commitments in the process. Now, as the calendar has flipped to July, the Wolfpack’s recruiting efforts are nowhere near done in the 2026 class. The Pack owns 16 commitments to this point, and it still has several areas that it wants to address before signing day rolls around to boost its overall class, currently the No. 64 group nationally and 14th in the ACC. There’s plenty of time between now and December, including plenty of senior seasons to play out on the gridiron, allowing for NC State to remain patient in some areas.
