One of the top prospects in the 2027 class was in Raleigh for NC State’s loss to Kansas.

Although NC State did not secure its first-ranked win of the 2025-2026 season on Saturday, falling 77-76 to Kansas in a devastating overtime loss, the Wolfpack and head coach Will Wade were able to use the game to help them on the recruiting trail.

The Wolpack hosted several prospects on campus in Raleigh for their game against the Jayhawks, including a four-star 2027 shooting guard. 

Elite 2027 Guard Visits NC State

According to The Wolfpackers’ Noah Fleischman, NC State hosted several prospects on campus for its game against Kansas. There were three 2028 recruits present: three-star power forward Chaase Smith, three-star guard Micah Gunter, and three-star small forward Bill Stanfield, but the most important visitor was a 2027 prospect.

Jordan Page, a four-star shooting guard from Broughton High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, was in attendance for NC State’s loss on Saturday. 

Page has been a priority for the Wolpack throughout his recruitment, and hosting him on campus for a game, even with the loss to Kansas, should boost the program's standing in his recruitment.

The 6’4” shooting guard is currently rated as a consensus four-star in the 2027 class, but his rating is expected to rise to five stars as the cycle progresses. Rivals’ industry rankings list him as the No. 11 overall player nationally, the No. 3 shooting guard, and the No. 1 prospect from North Carolina. 

The Raleigh native has shown mutual interest in NC State since the Wolfpack offered him in June and is expected to take several more visits with the program before making a decision.

Along with NC State, Page is being pursued by Duke, Georgetown, and North Carolina. Visits are one of the most effective ways for a program to stand out to and connect with a prospect, so even though the Wolfpack lost to Kansas on Saturday, they likely made significant progress with the four-star shooting guard.

According to Rivals’ recruiting prediction machine, NC State is currently the front-runner in Page’s recruitment, with the site giving them a 30.8% chance of landing him. While that doesn’t necessarily carry much weight, it at least shows that he’s genuinely considering the Wolfpack. 

As a 2027 prospect, Page still has a long way to go before making a decision, but NC State has already established itself as a strong contender in his recruitment. 

It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their position with him as his recruitment continues, but hosting him for a visit on Saturday was definitely a wise move for the Wolfpack.
