Two men I’ve always been proud to call fellow Wolfpacker’s are Torry and Terrance Holt, not only for their on-the-field production but more for what they do off the field.

N.C. State’s Holt brothers team up to help care for cancer victims
As recently as 2008, brothers Torry and Terrence Holt were making their impact on an NFL field. Now, they are working something even bigger.
The former N.C. State standouts launched the annual Holt Brothers Football Camp at the WRAL soccer center Friday, marking the first time the former Wolfpack duo hosted the camp outside of their hometown of Gibsonville. An estimated 85 participants from 1st to 8th grade participated in Friday’s festivities.
