NC State's Trey Parker plans to enter transfer portal
NC State rising sophomore guard Trey Parker plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3’s Joe Tipton on Friday afternoon.
The Fayetteville, N.C., native is the seventh departure since Kevin Keatts was fired. He joins forwards Ben Middlebrooks, Dennis Parker Jr. and Ismael Diouf, as well as guards Bryce Heard, Marcus Hill and Mike James in the portal. NC State has eight available scholarships for the 2025-26 season.
With Parker’s departure, rising sophomore guard Paul McNeil Jr. is the only returning scholarship player that newly-hired coach Will Wade has at his disposal. McNeil, a former top-60 recruit in the class of 2024, has already confirmed he will spend his second season of college basketball with the Pack.
Parker averaged 4.6 points with 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 27 appearances, including one start, as a freshman with the Wolfpack. He shot 41 percent from the field, including 35.7 percent from 3-point distance in his lone season at NC State.

The 6-foot-1 combo guard scored in double figures four times, including a career-best 19 points at Stanford on Feb. 8, while he led the team in steals three times, in points and in assists twice this past season.
Parker’s best collegiate game came in the Pack’s 74-73 loss at Stanford. Not only did he post his highest point total of the year, but Parker was also able to rack up his best assist total with five as he played a season-most 28 minutes. In addition, he knocked down five 3-pointers, his best showing from beyond the arc in a year that he hit 20 total triples for the Wolfpack.
Originally a part of the 2023 recruiting class, Parker reclassified to the 2024 cycle to spend a second season at Atlanta (Ga.) Overtime Elite. During the 2023-24 season, he averaged 11.1 points with 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.3 steals
