North Carolina State’s men’s basketball program has secured its first 2027 recruit, forward Jamil Robinson, who announced his commitment on Tuesday.
The 6‑foot‑11 power forward, a graduate of Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy in Georgia, joins the Wolfpack after a standout season with Jet Academy on the Nike EYBL Circuit, where he posted 10 points, six rebounds and two steals in his most recent game.
What makes Robinson’s pledge especially noteworthy is that NC State became the first high‑major program to offer him, and he committed less than three weeks after receiving the scholarship.
A New Face in the Top Five
Adding to the excitement, four‑star small forward Markus Kerr, currently ranked No. 70 nationally, has placed NC State among his top five schools.
Kerr, who carries 23 offers but has yet to commit, is celebrated for his three‑level scoring ability, elite shooting range, mid‑range craftiness and strong driving skills, while also projecting as a slashing wing with defensive upside.
The mutual interest between Kerr and the Wolfpack underscores a strategic fit, as the coaching staff sees him as a potential cornerstone for the next era.
A Recruiting Class Poised for Impact
Both prospects bring high‑upside talent that could reshape the Wolfpack’s roster, reinforcing NC State’s ambition to compete at the top tier of college basketball.
