Five-Star Guard Matthew Able Commits to NC State

Matt Able, a five-star shooting guard from Sagemont High in Florida, has committed to NC State, marking the first significant recruitment win for new head coach Will Wade. Able, who previously committed to Miami, reopened his recruitment following a coaching change at the school and ultimately chose NC State over several other offers including Texas and Alabama. His impressive summer performances, averaging 20.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, showcased his skill and versatility, making him a top prospect in the 2025 class. As the No. 26 player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Able's commitment is seen as a major boost for the Wolfpack's recruiting efforts. Wade's vision for the program and the school's facilities were pivotal factors in Able's decision. This commitment ends a nearly decade-long drought for NC State in securing a five-star player.
