On Thursday night, NC State had a couple of prominent recruiting visitors in attendance for their season opening 38-21 victory over Western Carolina.
4-Star 2026 EDGE Zavion Griffin-Haynes (6’6″/220) confirmed with me that he was going to be attending.
Griffin-Haynes is a consensus 4-Star prospect, and a consensus Top-200 player nationally. ON3 ranks him as the #77 overall player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, the #7 EDGE and the #7 player in the state of North Carolina.
He holds offers from NC State, Ohio St., South Carolina, Auburn, Penn St. FSU, Miami, UCLA, Tennessee, Duke, UNC, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Ole Miss, Missouri and others.
