Jordyn Best brings track-speed upside to NC State’s secondary
In the 2025 season, NC State freshman CB Jordyn Best arrived as a highly touted add: a 3-star recruit who was ranked among the top cornerbacks in his class and the No. 18 prospect in South Carolina, with one outlet even slotting him as a 4-star signee. Best’s calling card is elite speed — reportedly 4.31 in the 40 and 10.52 in the 100 meters — which shows up in his ability to recover, close downhill, and fit the Wolfpack’s man-coverage ambitions. He also flashed production at Ridge View with 22 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions as a junior, making him a good fit if your defense wants twitch, range, and upside over a polished finished product.
