The North Carolina State Wolfpack has a manual when it comes to recruiting prospects, as they like to recruit a very specific way, and they like to recruit a very specific set of recruits when it comes to every single recruiting class that they can possibly think of.

Obviously, as of now, the 2026 recruiting class is the class that they are on, as they can only hope to land more prospects in the 2026 class, as they have only landed 18 total commits at this time, which is far below many of the average teams landing around 22 to 23 commits, to say the least.

Although they have failed to land the total amount that they had hoped, for they have been able to land many different prospects that are worthwhile as they have landed prospects from both inside the state of North Carolina and outside the state of North Carolina as they like to work their way from the inside out, which is exactly what they did although they did make some additions through the state of North Carolina late, which helped them bring their total up as well as learn some future playmaker that are worth noting.

One of the players that they landed as Jaire Richburg, who is an East Forsyth receiver with plenty of potential to see the field very early on in time at North Carolina State, which is set to begin following this high school season, has already gotten off to a great start.

He has picked up too many early victories in his high school season; however, they are set to be battle-tested. It is set to be the biggest game of his high school season. They will be taking on the big bad wolves of the state of North Carolina, as they will be taking on Grimsley, who has been led by the nation’s best prospect in the 2026 class.

Wolfpack Commit Jaire Richburg Set for Matchup Against Faizon Brandon

That prospect is Faizon Brandon , who is currently the number one quarterback in the class and is currently committed to play for the Tennessee Volunteers and Coach Josh Heupel.

Brandon is going to be a guy who is going to contend to start for the SEC program in his first season, as he is someone who is already polished and looking like a college quarterback at this time, and will likely give Richburg’s defense a fit.

One thing worth noting is that East Forsyth has done a great job when it comes to scoring points, which is exactly what you would expect when you have a guy like Richburg who can come down with the ball at any time or make a play downfield if you need him to.

If you want the win, you have to be able to give the ball to Richburg as well as contain Brandon, and that could be the toughest game of his high school football career.
