RALEIGH, N.C. — NC State men’s basketball is set to host five-star power forward Toni Bryant for an official visit in late September, as head coach Will Wade aims to secure a commitment from one of the top prospects in the 2026 class. The 6-foot-9, 200-pound standout from Zephyrhills (Fla.) Christian Academy will arrive in Raleigh on Sept. 28 for his fourth of five scheduled official visits.
Bryant has already made an unofficial visit to Arizona and plans to visit Florida State, North Carolina, and Missouri before heading to NC State. His final official visit is currently set for Michigan in October, with the early signing period beginning Nov. 13.
This upcoming trip will mark Bryant’s second time on campus in Raleigh after making an unofficial visit on April 27. Though the Wolfpack joined his recruitment later than other programs, Wade has quickly developed a strong rapport with the elite forward.
“Coach (Will) Wade is a great coach who wins everywhere he’s been,” Bryant told Travis Branham of 247Sports. “I enjoyed talking with him on my unofficial, and I like what they are building at NC State.”
Ranked No. 12 overall and the No. 3 power forward in the 2026 class by 247Sports — as well as the No. 2 prospect in Florida behind Caleb Holt — Bryant brings national attention wherever he visits. He holds identical rankings in the 247Sports Composite.
Despite locking in five official visits, Bryant remains open in his recruitment. He hasn’t scheduled an official visit to Arizona yet and recently picked up an offer from Alabama. Kansas is also in the mix as a possible visit destination.
“I’m not really thinking about a decision right now,” Bryant told 247Sports. “It could be as early as the end of the summer or as late as the transfer portal. I just got to see.”
Since arriving in Raleigh, Wade has prioritized Bryant as a foundational piece in NC State’s future frontcourt. With playing time readily available, the Wolfpack will look to make a lasting impression during Bryant’s September visit.
