On Thursday morning, Wallace revealed via the following post on social media that he has decided not to declare for the NFL Draft this go-round. And considering he has neither entered the transfer portal nor changed his bio information or profile picture, it looks as though he's set on remaining in Raleigh for his final college campaign.
I’m not declaring this year. I have 1 last year of eligibility.

Wallace, a former three-star prep out of The Avalon School (Md.) in the 2020 recruiting cycle, spent three seasons at Old Dominion, where he redshirted as a freshman before playing 13 games for the Monarchs in a 2021 season that didn't count against anyone's eligibility.
In 2023, he transferred to Colorado, where he saw action in 10 outings, recorded 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks, and emerged as a starter across the Buffaloes' last four contests.
As a second-time transfer this year, Chazz Wallace committed to NC State football head coach Dave Doeren and his staff in May. He was a three-star prospect in the portal, ranking No. 148 among defensive linemen.
However, as a third-stringer for the 2024 Wolfpack, he played only four games, finishing the year with four tackles, including one for a loss.
