BREAKING: Swedish forward Tilda Trygger commits to NC State
NC State women’s basketball just added some serious height to its front court. The Wolfpack picked up a commitment from Swedish forward Tilda Trygger Friday evening.
She is the fourth commitment of the Wolfpack’s 2024 class and will join the Wolfpack from Stockholm, Sweden, and the Valencia (ESP) Basket Club. At 6-6, the forward will provide a boost to NC State’s power forward and center positions for the years to come.
Playing for the Swedish U18 team in the 2023 European championships, Trygger scored 16 points per game, grabbed 9.4 rebounds, dished out 3.3 assists and swiped 1.9 steals. Her best game was a 77-62 win over Denmark— a 28-point, 9 rebound performance in 29 minutes that featured 2 three-point field goals as well.
Trygger, who visited NC State in December, has the range to make an impact from behind the arc, knocking down 8 of 24 shots from deep in her final 5 international games this summer.
Per College Athletics Agency, she also held offers from UCLA, West Virginia, Colorado and Michigan State.
She joins a stacked 2024 Pack recruiting class that ranked No. 14 nationally after early signing day. Five-star point guard Zamareya Jones, four-star wing Devyn Quigley and 6-6 forward Lorena Awou all signed with NC State in November.
Jones is the No. 17 recruit in the county, per ESPN, and finished the 2022-2023 season averaging 28.8 points, 5.6 steals, 4.7 rebound and 7.1 assists per game with North Pitt High, according to Sports Illustrated’s stats.
Awou, who plays for East Moline (Ill.) United High, averaged 12 points and 12.2 rebounds per game as a junior. Quigley, a 5-11 wing prospect from Manchester Township (NJ) High, ranks No. 47 nationally and scored 34.9 points per game last season, per nj.com. She also recorded 11.3 rebounds and 3.75 steals per game.
