NC State redshirt junior pitcher Garrett Payne entered the transfer portal, TheWolfpacker.com and On3 Sports learned Thursday morning. Payne, who participated in the team’s senior day activities, is the third Wolfpack player to depart the program this spring, joining freshman pitcher Christopher Zupito and freshman infielder Robert Nedry. The Charlottesville, Va., native was a key part of the “Pack 13” in the 2021 Men’s College World Series against Vanderbilt, where NC State was without most of its roster due to COVID-19. He made the start in that game, where he tossed five innings and allowed...

NC State baseball may be in the Super Regionals, but the Wolfpack has not wasted any time in the transfer portal. Former Campbell outfielder Dalen Thompson announced his commitment to the Pack on Wednesday afternoon, the first portal pickup for the 2025 season. Thompson, a rising senior, hit .313 with 13 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs, 44 runs scored and 47 RBI in his first full season as a consistent starter for the Camels. He appeared in 50 games with 46 starts, after he made just 20 starts in his first two seasons. Thompson struck out 42 times with 30 walks this past season with an on-b...

With the college football season less than 100 days away, ESPN’s David Hale ranked every FBS quarterback going into the 2024 season. As he slotted each signal-caller, they fell into various tiers, ranking from “the cream of the crop” to the bottom 13 — creating 20 tiers. NC State went out and nabbed Coastal Carolina transfer Grayson McCall from the portal this offseason, and Hale slotted the three-time Sun Belt Player of the Year in Tier 5b: “The Transfer Market: Origins.” McCall was joined by Florida State’s DJ Uiagalelei and Brock Glenn, Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard and Steve Angeli, and Syrac...

No. 10 NC State ran through the Raleigh Regional, winning three games in as many days to punch its ticket to the Athens Super Regional next weekend. And as the Wolfpack dominated the regional, it landed five players on the All-Regional team. Graduate third baseman Alec Makarewicz led the Wolfpack’s selections, including being named the regional’s most outstanding player, after he went 6-for-14 with four doubles, a home run and five RBI. While the East Carolina transfer paced NC State’s honorees, he was joined by graduate first baseman Garrett Pennington, junior shortstop Brandon Butterworth, s...

The age of the transfer portal can create awkward situations. Players can transfer practically anywhere they want to, some just minutes down the road to a nearby program. For NC State coach Elliott Avent, that is something he has tried to avoid. He doesn’t want to take a player from North Carolina or Duke, the other two ACC schools within the Triangle, but that extends out to East Carolina just over an hour away in Greenville too. With that in mind, Avent nearly didn’t take third baseman Alec Makarewicz out of the portal. The slugger spent four seasons at ECU, where he earned All-American Conf...

When NC State closer Derrick Smith got the call from the bullpen to make his regional debut Saturday night, the flame-throwing sophomore entered in the eighth with the toughest task in South Carolina’s batting order: Cole Messina. Just one day before, with the game on the line against James Madison, the Dukes elected to pitch to Messina, who clubbed a two-run blast in the ninth to force extra innings. That propelled the Gamecocks into the winner’s bracket and set the date with the Wolfpack. So when Smith came in to face South Carolina’s power hitter, there was a sense of apprehension among the...

Going into the Raleigh Regional winner’s bracket game against South Carolina, NC State’s game plan was simple: “dismantle fastballs.” While that may seem like an elementary approach, it worked out well for the Wolfpack. The Gamecocks trotted out Garrett Gainey, a lefty that owns a power fastball. NC State, though, was able to stick to its objective — and Gainey’s fastballs ended up in the tree line near Sullivan Road. NC State’s sluggers got the party started with a trio of homers before smart hitting secured a 6-4 win over South Carolina on Saturday evening at Doak Field. The Wolfpack advance...

As NC State coach Elliott Avent walked across the street from Doak Field to the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center, where the postgame press conference was set up following his team’s Raleigh Regional opening win over Bryant, he asked starting right-hander Sam Highfill how he felt at the end of his outing. Highfill, the Pack’s graduate ace, battled a lower back injury during the 2022 season and it has reemerged at times ever since. Avent wanted to check in on his workhorse, who helped guide the red and white to the 9-2 win, not knowing what to expect. The answer might have been surprising to those th...
