NC State is in Syracuse on Saturday, but Dave Doeren and the Wolfpack are celebrating a win on the recruiting trail before taking the field.
Ta’Khyian Whitset, an offensive tackle from the 2025 recruiting class, committed to the Pack on Saturday. He becomes the 18th recruit of the class to commit and the fourth offensive lineman, joining Louisville’s Isaac Sowells Jr., Wilmington, N.C.’s Michael Gibbs, and Ohio’s Kage Payne.

Even after the Nashville-area product pledged to Purdue in April, the Wolfpack sought to secure his services, ultimately extending an offer in September. He took an official visit to Raleigh the weekend of the Wolfpack’s game against Northern Illinois and eventually re-opened his commitment on Wednesday.
Three days later, Whitset, ranked the No. 48 offensive tackle in the country, gave the Wolfpack his commitment. Outside of NC State and Purdue, he holds offers from Arkansas State, Ball State, East Carolina, Liberty, Toledo, UAB, Vanderbilt, and Western Kentucky, among others.
Below, you can take a look at some of Whitset’s highlights from Hudl:
As for the current Wolfpack team, they’re in the midst of a 3-3 season. Their most recent game was against Tobacco Road foe Wake Forest, a 34-30 loss at Carter-Finley Stadium that dropped them to 0-2 in the ACC.
