The Wolfpack grew again on Wednesday when N.C. State football added 14 signees to its 2025 class.

The new players join the 17 who signed their national letters of intent during the early signing period in December.

N.C. State’s haul primarily includes transfers who committed in December and January; their signings officially add them to the program. The Wolfpack, however, also signed four incoming freshmen to the 2025 class.

LaCorian Hodge, Adrian Farrow, Deandre Desinor and Ke’Von Carter signed with N.C. State and will be true freshmen in the fall.

Hodge is a three-star recruit from Texas, where he played varsity for three seasons at Arlington Segiun. As a senior, the linebacker contributed 80 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, a pair of fumble recoveries, one interception and two pass breakups.

Farrow is a Florida product who flipped his commitment from Florida Atlantic to N.C. State on Monday. In two seasons as a varsity player, Farrow contributed 129 total tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 20 sacks and four forced fumbles. The new Wolfpack defensive end increased his game-by-game performance, jumping from 4.2 tackles per game as a junior to 6.9 tackles per game as a senior.

Desinor rushed for 711 yards on 108 carries and eight touchdowns. He averaged nearly 51 yards per game and notched a season-long 60-yard run. The incoming freshman also contributed 302 receiving yards, three touchdowns and served as a returner on special teams.

Carter joins the Wolfpack after playing three sports in high school and flipping his commitment from Texas State. During his senior football season, he recorded 63 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble and a blocked punt.

The Wolfpack opens its season against East Carolina on Thursday, Aug. 28, at Carter-Finley Stadium.
