In this story:
NC State women’s basketball landed a commitment from forward Annsley Trivette. Women’s basketball coach Wes Moore lands his first commitment for the 2026 recruiting cycle. She’s from Abingdon, Virginia, giving her commitment to the Wolfpack on Aug. 11.
She comes in at 6-foot-2 and averaged 20 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.8 blocks, earning her way to being named Virginia’s Class 3 Player of the Year as a junior.
Trivette is a four-sport athlete, playing volleyball, shotput, discus and soccer at the high school level. It didn’t stop her from dominating as a basketball player, as in her first three seasons, she’s already scored 1,722 points with over 700 rebounds.
On top of it all, Trivette participated in the Under Armour Next AAU circuit, averaging 10.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists with the West Virginia Thunder.
Along with being the Class 3 Player of the Year, she won the Class 3 2025 state titles in shot put and discus, breaking a 1985 school record with a 131-foot, 9-inch toss in the spring.
She was heavily recruited by other Division I programs, holding almost two dozen before picking NC State. She took official visits to James Madison, Virginia, and Wake Forest.
Trivette is the first player for the Wolfpack’s 2026 recruiting class, with a quiet transfer portal for NC State this past offseason. The 2026 class may become crucial as ever for the Wolfpacks’ future.
