2025-2026 Projected NC State Scholarship Roster

Here is an updated roster of the scholarship players after the recent changes.

Darrion Williams F Sr. Texas Tech (Sacramento, CA) 6-6/240
One of the top returning basketball players in college basketball, Williams is expected to be an impact piece for NC State.
Ven-Allen Lubin F/C Sr. UNC (Orlando, FL) 6-8/230
A potential starter for the Wolfpack, Lubin is expected to provide stability and experience at both frontcourt positions.
Alyn Breed G Sr. McNeese State (Powder Springs, GA) 6-3/190
A potential starter for the Wolfpack, Breed should play a major role this upcoming season.
Tre Holloman G Sr. Mich. State (Minneapolis, MN) 6-2/180
A transfer point guard, look for the ball to be in the hands of Holloman a lot.
Quadir Copeland G/F Sr. McNeese State (Philadelphia, PA) 6-6/200
Copeland has the versatility to play four positions for the Wolfpack.
Terrance Arceneaux G/F Sr. Houston (Beaumont, TX) 6-6/205
Arceneaux is expected to be given the opportunity to play major minutes this year for the Wolfpack.
Jerry Deng F Jr. Florida State (Rochester, NY) 6-9/220
A stretch forward, Deng will likely play on the perimeter for the Wolfpack knocking down three-pointers from the 4/5 spots.
Paul McNeil Jr. G So. Richmond (Rockingham, NC) 6-6/180
A high-level scorer, McNeil Jr. could earn a big role this season.  He’ll add shooting to the Wolfpack’s roster.
Matthew Able G Fr. Sagemont  (Sagemont , FL) 6-5/180
A five-star recruit, Able is expected to be in the rotation as a true freshman.
Colt Langdon F Fr.* Butler (Raleigh, NC) 6-7/225
Langdon redshirted as a freshman and will work to carve out a role this season.
Paul Mbiya C Fr. Asvelt BASKET (Paris, FR) 6-11/250
A post prospect with a ton of potential, Mbiya has an upside that few others on the roster have.
Zymicah Wilkins F Fr. Christ School (Asheville, NC) 6-8/260
A versatile post who can score the basketball, Wilkins is not expected to play a major role as a freshman.
Jayme Kontuniemi G Fr. Drive Academy (Helsinki, FIN) 6-4/205
An international prospect, Kontuniemi is not expected to play a major role as a freshman.
