The 2025 NC State football roster will include an experienced presence at safety in Jeremiah Johnson.
Former Georgia State Panthers safety Jeremiah Johnson, who played for three years and spent two years at junior college, committed to NC State head coach Dave Doeren and his staff on Friday night. The 5-foot-11, 192-pound senior will be joining the Wolfpack for his final season of eligibility, as confirmed by NC State Wolfpack On SI.
Johnson entered the transfer portal on December 24, received an offer from NC State on Tuesday, and visited the campus last week before making his decision.
In his second year as a full-time starter, the Mississippi native tallied 69 tackles, including one for a loss, along with one quarterback hurry and six pass breakups, earning a spot on the All-Sun Belt Third Team. Georgia State concluded the season with a record of 3-9 overall and 1-7 in Sun Belt play.
After recording 73 tackles, including five for a loss, along with one sack, two interceptions, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries last season, Jeremiah Johnson earned an honorable mention on the All-Sun Belt team.
He is ranked No. 514 overall and No. 14 among safeties in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
The NC State football transfer roster now features 10 players, including other secondary additions like former Missouri cornerback Jaren Sensabaugh and Temple cornerback Jamel Johnson. Under Dave Doeren, the team is ranked No. 52 overall and No. 11 among ACC programs in the 247Sports Team Transfer Rankings.
In the meantime, 17 players from the 2024 Wolfpack roster have entered the transfer portal.
