Havelock (N.C.) High senior Javonte Vereen is just big enough to be an H-back, but skilled enough to play wide receiver for his high school team.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Vereen split off wide for the Rams, but also moved around to become more of a playmaker at times. He also became more of a possession receiver, compared to his junior year where he was used more as a vertical threat on defense and played more extensively on defense.

“He was definitely one of the elite players in the state,” Havelock coach Allen Wooten said. “We lined him up at quarterback, H-back, running back, tight end and wide receiver. When you have a player of that caliber, you try and get him in the best position to get the ball.”

The offensive coordinator at Havelock was at Greenville (N.C.) Rose last year with Wolfpack freshman running back Michael Allen. Havelock went 9-3 this past season and Vereen topped 100 receiving yards in five games.

“He is a new-age tight end or H-back who is position-less,” Wooten said. “He’s not a ‘Y’ style tight end and I’m not going to line him up in-line and block 290-pound defensive lineman all day long. He is perfectly capable of doing that a few snaps a game if he needs to do so.

“He’s just one of the most dynamic playmakers in the state.”

Vereen went from 35 receptions a year ago to 72 this season.

“His ball skills were always there, but he concentrated on his route running and ran better routes,” Wooten said. “He really focused on the mismatches. He just got smarter in evaluating the film and who was covering him.”

NC State tight ends coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel made sure to watch Havelock play the last two years. Vereen will enroll early this month.

“He made sure Javonte knows he’s one of their key pieces to their class, but he also gave him space to enjoy his senior year,” Wooten said. “He’s a great tight ends coach and a great coach in general.

"He's at the perfect school for him and the coaches he needs around him. I think he'll be a very successful player at NC State."

• Havelock coach Allen Wooten said Javonte Vereen earned all-conference, and he has been named first-team all-state by some publications.

• Vereen earned a spot on the HighSchoolOT.com second-team all-state team as a two-way player in 2021.

Vereen accumulated a lot of offers, but narrowed his list to NC State, Maryland and Louisville. He committed early to NC State on April 1, 2022, and then took his official visit Dec. 9-11.

Vereen also had offers from Boston College, Duke and Georgia, from Power Five Conferences. Buffalo, Campbell, Charlotte, East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Miami (Ohio), North Carolina Central and South Florida, also had offered offered.

NC State special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Todd Goebbel.

"After visiting and researching all the schools, NC State was my first offer and they kept it 100-percent honest with me the whole way since September 1st [2021]. The relationship that I have with the coaches is better than any of the other schools that I visited. They run all types of routes with their tight ends and split them out wide and move then around. We can run any route and that's what I usually do." — Javonte Vereen

Vereen has a great opportunity to make an impact as a flex tight end.
