Ladies and Gentlemen…it happened.

4-Star 2027 Quarterback Gunner Rivers, the son of legendary Wolfpack Quarterback Philip Rivers, has verbally committed to NC State!

Last Fall, Rivers put up eye-popping numbers for St. Michael Catholic as a junior, underneath the tutelage of head coach…Philip Rivers.

  • 69.1% completion percentage
  • 3,176 passing yards
  • 46 touchdowns
  • 5 interceptions
  • 131.8 NFL passer rating

According to 247Sports, he ranks as:

  • #42 overall player nationally
  • #6 quarterback nationally
  • #1 player in Alabama

That’s blue-chip territory.
