    It may be early, but NC State already has the look of a Top-25 caliber roster and one that should compete in the top half of the ACC in Year 1 under Will Wade. RALEIGH, N.C. -- The hype building around the NC State men's basketball program for next season is palpable. Will Wade has come in and completely overhauled the roster, adding 12 new players in the last two months, including eight transfers that make up the No. 13 overall transfer portal class in the country.

    RALEIGH, N.C. -- NC State basketball has now finalized the 2025-26 roster with the addition of Ven-Allen Lubin from North Carolina. Lubin adds a much-needed veteran presence inside the paint for the Wolfpack in the event that Paul Mbiya misses games due to being an international professional player and while Zymicah Wilkins progresses in the system.

    Katharine Berkoff needed the swim of her life to claim her first American Championship in the 50m backstroke. That's exactly what the former NC State swimmer got -- and more -- with a time of 26.97 seconds, which marked a new American record in the same field as the previous record holder in Regan Smith. The former Wolfpack swimmer and current Wolfpack Elite athlete blew away the competition, with Smith nearly one-fourth of a second behind her at 27.20.

    RALEIGH, N.C. -- Following the conclusion of the 2025 baseball season, multiple NC State players have already entered the transfer portal. With players being retained for next season, new commits in the 2025 class joining the team this summer and likely several transfer portal additions to the team, the Wolfpack will look much different next spring. Among the earliest entries were Peyton Young and Jacob Dienes, who entered in May before the Wolfpack reached the postseason.
