Medical Redshirt Appears Likely For Greg Gantt

NC State head coach Kevin Keatts stated today that NC State is exploring a medical redshirt for transfer forward Greg Gantt.

“We are [exploring the medical redshirt,” Keatts said.  “We are so late in the season it probably wouldn’t help for him to play at this point.  It’s funny, we talked about that a little bit this morning.  We haven’t made a final decision on that, but right now it’s trending toward him not playing at all this year.”

Gantt transferred to NC State this season after spending two years at Providence.  Originally from Fayetteville, N.C., Gantt was a consensus four-star recruit coming out of high school in 2019. He was ranked as the No. 62 overall recruit by 247 Sports.

The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder was expected to compete for playing time at the forward positions this season but has yet to play in a game after sustaining a preseason injury.

If Grant receives a medical redshirt he will have three remaining years of eligibility which includes the additional COVID season.
