For now, the 2026 NC State football recruiting haul still contains only two early pledges in Reagan High School (N.C.) three-star quarterback Jacob Smith and Trinity Episcopal School (Va.) three-star offensive tackle Brady Sakowitz.
Smith, ranking No. 710 overall in the cycle, announced his commitment back in early August. Sakowitz, No. 685 overall, followed suit just over two months later.
