h/t to Pack Pride
With NC State’s fall camp going on, there are some stories and tidbits that come out. My favorite on this year so far is the awarding of scholarships to Ben Grazen and Graven Locklear.
Always love seeing this videos…even better when it is the Wolfpack doing it!
Also, I saw a really good article on ESPN discussing the backfield that the Wolfpack has.
At last month’s ACC kickoff event, a group of reporters pestered Jacoby Brissett about the talent in NC State’s backfield. This alone is something of a surprise.
Mention elite position groups around the ACC, and the Wolfpack’s running backs aren’t the first that come to mind. Brissett didn’t back down though.
“I’m looking around the country,” he said, “and I’m trying to find anyone better.”
Perhaps Brissett is a bit biased, but he has some numbers on his side.
Backfield Stable:
Thornton
Dayes
Brissett
Samuels
Frasier
Gallaspy
Hines (moved to slot)
Pretty stacked.
One last note. Even though Fox Sports columnists Stewart Mandel and Bruce Feldman both think NC State is a darkhorse pick (good stuff on their Audible podcast), they both have State finishing up 8-4 overall and 4-4 in the conference. Feldman in particular really likes Brissett.
