Before joining NC State’s 2024 class, he narrowed down his recruitment to the Pack, Georgia Tech, Maryland, UCF and Pittsburgh. He officially visited the Terrapins after spending a weekend with the Wolfpack, but that was not enough to swing the momentum of his recruitment.
Alexander-Felton originally planned on taking fall officials, but NC State’s staff wrapped up his recruitment before the end of the summer. He returned to campus to watch the Pack play UNC this fall.
Why Josh Alexander-Felton picked NC State
“It was my second time, and it felt like the first time, it was great,” Alexander-Felton said after his visit for the Alpha Wolf Showcase in July. “Great vibes, I felt comfortable actually… It’s a great environment and a good coaching staff.”
