A month after receiving an offer from NC State and witnessing the Wolfpack’s impressive 59-28 home victory over Stanford during his official visit, Josiah Victor, a defensive lineman from Grayson High School (Ga.), announced his commitment to head coach Dave Doeren and his staff on Sunday.
Victor had initially pledged to the Boston College Eagles in June but officially decommitted on November 20. He shared his decision to join the Wolfpack with a post on social media:

The 6-foot-2, 295-pound powerhouse is ranked No. 1,613 overall, No. 180 among defensive linemen, and No. 176 in Georgia on the 247Sports 2025 Composite rankings.
With the addition of Josiah Victor, NC State now has three defensive linemen in its 2025 recruiting class, joining three-star Omarian Abraham from American Heritage School (Fla.) and three-star AJ Prim from Pearl River Community College (Miss.), who both committed in mid-November.
Thanks to Victor’s commitment, the 2025 NC State football recruiting class has grown to 21 verbal commitments and jumped three spots to No. 41 nationally, according to 247Sports. The class is currently ranked No. 8 in the ACC.
In contrast, archrival UNC, coming off a 35-30 home loss to the Wolfpack and lacking a permanent head coach, has seen its once-promising 10-player recruit haul drop to last place in the conference and No. 78 nationally due to a series of decommitments.
