Eighth-year NC State basketball head coach Kevin Keatts and his staff entered the JJ Andrews sweepstakes with an offer back in June. And a few weeks ago, the son of former two-time NFL Pro Bowl offensive lineman Shawn Andrews announced plans to visit the Wolfpack. He’ll be in Raleigh for an official visit Sept. 27-29.
Andrews, a physically imposing wing already boasting almost a dozen offers, is gearing up to head to Missouri for a campus tour with the Tigers this weekend, marking the first official visit in his recruitment. He’s also locked in official visits to his father’s alma mater in home-state hopeful Arkansas, Oct. 18-20, and LSU, Nov. 8-10.

NC State has early offers out to a handful of recruits on the 2026 trail. Thus far, though, JJ Andrews is the only guard on that wishlist.
