The 6-foot-2, 295-pound bruiser stacks up at No. 1,613 overall, No. 180 among defensive linemen, and No. 176 in Georgia on the 247Sports 2025 Composite.
NC State now boasts three defensive linemen in its 2025 collection. American Heritage School (Fla.) three-star Omarian Abraham and Pearl River Community College (Miss.) three-star AJ Prim, who committed in mid-November, are the other two.
With the addition of Josiah Victor, the 2025 NC State football recruiting class is up to 21 verbal commits and enjoyed a three-spot bump to No. 41 overall in the country, per 247Sports. And it ranks No. 8 in the ACC.
Meanwhile, archrival UNC, fresh off its 35-30 home loss to the Wolfpack on Saturday and without a permanent head coach in place, has seen its 10-deep haul fall to dead last in the conference and No. 78 in the country in light of decommitments galore.
