Three bench players from N.C. State’s 2025-26 men’s basketball team entered the portal this week.
Guard Alyn Breed is the most notable of the trio. The redshirt senior followed former head coach Will Wade to N.C. State after one season at McNeese State.
Breed appeared in 21 games, averaging 4.5 points and 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per appearance.
The veteran guard scored a season-high 12 points in the Wolfpack’s 76-61 loss to Virginia on Jan. 3, going 6 for 6 from the free-throw line. He added at least four rebounds in five games played.
Breed started his career at Providence during the 2020-21 season, and spent three seasons with the Friars. Last season, he played two games at McNeese before a season-ending injury. In his two games, he scored 35 points and pulled down six boards.
His injury and the additional COVID year gave Breed an additional season of eligibility.
Raleigh native Colt Langdon and Finnish freshman Jayme Kontuniemi also entered the transfer portal this week.
Langdon transferred from Butler after redshirting his first season. He played six games and scored two points in November — his first college points — prior to a season-ending injury. Langdon underwent surgery earlier this year.
Kontuniemi, from Helsinki, redshirted the season after arriving in Raleigh last summer. He played in the U20 European Youth Basketball League, leading his team to a 12-0 record and European Youth Basketball League U20 Championship.
The freshman was previously a member of the Finnish U18 national team.
The trio joins teammates Matt Able, Terrance Arceneaux, Paul McNeil and 2026 signee Cole Cloer in entering the portal. Able, McNeil and Cloer are reportedly open to returning to N.C. State under new head coach Justin Gainey. The portal opened Tuesday and closes April 21.
