Delaney took an unofficial visit to Michigan over the weekend and was at Clemson earlier this month.
Plus, he has locked in June official visits to Michigan, Clemson, and Tennessee. Those scheduled trips point to the Wolverines, Tigers, and Volunteers as leading contenders in his high-profile recruitment.
That said, 13th-year NC State football head coach Dave Doeren and his Wolfpack, who became Delaney's second full-fledged FBS suitor with their offer back in June 2023, now have the stage for their next chance to impress the heralded Charlotte talent.
