NC State Sets Sights on Rising 2026 Star Trevon Carter-Givens for Official Visit
RALEIGH, N.C. — NC State head coach Will Wade and his staff have been relentless on the recruiting trail this summer, zeroing in on several top-tier prospects from the 2026 class. Among the program’s most coveted targets is fast-rising center Trevon Carter-Givens, who has officially scheduled his first campus visit — a trip to Raleigh on September 5.
The 6-foot-10, 190-pound big man out of SoCal Academy in Castaic, California, has seen his recruiting stock skyrocket in recent months. After entering the spring with a handful of low-major interest, Carter-Givens now holds close to 10 high-major offers, including NC State and San Diego State, where he’ll take a second official visit on September 12.
Wade and his staff have been tracking Carter-Givens throughout the summer, with the big man turning heads during an impressive EYBL campaign. His squad made it all the way to Peach Jam, falling just one game short of a title shot — a performance that helped catapult him onto the radar of programs across the country.
“This summer’s been really good to me — this year at least,” Carter-Givens told reporters. “I had a really good EYBL run. We made it to Peach, and we were one game away. But seeing all these new schools come into the mix has been great. Especially after last year; I had nothing. It’s a blessing, man. It’s just been exciting to see all my hard work finally paying off.”
With his blend of length, mobility, and rim-protection potential, Carter-Givens fits the mold of the modern big man Wade has prioritized for his system at NC State. His official visit to Raleigh will be a key opportunity for the Wolfpack to leave a lasting impression in what’s quickly becoming a competitive recruitment.
Stay tuned for more updates as Carter-Givens’ recruitment heats up heading into the fall.
