Recruiting: Recapping weekend commitments, including NC State landing pair from Florida

NC State’s 2025 recruiting class has a distinct Florida flavor.

Vero Beach cornerback RJ Jones and Santaluces wide receiver Jamar Browder both committed to the Wolfpack on Sunday. They join Flagler Palm Coast defensive lineman Colby Cronk, who committed to NC State in March.

The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Jones is ranked No. 88 on the USA Today Florida Network top 100. Jones initially planned to announce on June 29, but went ahead and committed after an official visit this past weekend.

At 6-foot-3½, 205 pounds, Browder presents an intriguing pass catching option who could play outside receiver or a flex tight end depending on the scheme.
