MAN ON A MISSION The Wolfpack’s success at sending quarterbacks into the NFL has been well documented. NC State was the It means something different to everyone. only school with three alums starting in the NFL last season and Wolfpack alums hold two of the top four highest guaranteed salaries in the NFL. Don’t be surprised if the legend of QBU grows a bit after the 2015 season. To us at NC State, it means an opportunity to share the passion, loyalty, history, tradition, and multitude Senior Jacoby Brissett is the latest in that storied line of great quarterbacks to wear the red and white. With just of experiences on and off the field that are complete- 15 games under his belt at NC State, he already ranks eighth in school history in career passing touchdowns ly unique to the Wolfpack Nation. (26), 14th in passing yards (3,018) and second in percentage (.624). He set a school record for rushing by a quarterback last season with 573 yards. It’s true to our DNA and who we are.

To help his team achieve this goal, head coach Dave Doeren instituted “Real World goods, such as pizza boxes and paper plates, into Wednesdays” last winter. compost bins. Since this is a pilot program, the compost bins are only available on the stadium During Wednesday team meetings throughout the offseason, speakers came in to present a variety of topics, concourse, meaning any items left in the stands including domestic violence, dealing with police, drug abuse, dining etiquette, proper dress attire (how to tie a tie!), cannot be composted. “What is masculinity?” and basic finances.

DEFENSIVE LINE One of the deepest units on the squad in 2015 is the defensive line. And it better be! Line coach Ryan Nielsen uses frequent substitutions along the front, looking for quality reps rather than quantity. In 2014, all 11 defensive linemen who saw action played over 100 snaps for the season. Ten defensive linemen have seen action in the season opener.

The depth has a potential down side, however, as there are five freshmen (four true, one redshirt) and five sophomores among the 12 players listed on the depth chart. In other words, 83% of the unit is made up of underclassmen.

FENCE ‘EM IN On the day he was introduced as NC State’s head coach in December of 2012, head coach Dave Doeren said it was “upsetting” to see “all the great players from the state of North Carolina” starring for other programs.

“We will fight for every kid who we think belongs here,” Doeren said then. “If we don’t get one, it’s not going to be for a lack of effort.”

A look at his first two full signing classes (2014 & 2015) shows that Doeren has kept that promise, as the Wolfpack has signed some of the top players in North Carolina each year. p. 6...... @PackFootball NC State vs. Old Dominion THE WOLFPACK’S 2015 RECORD WHEN...

In the earliest days of NC State football, even before it acquired the nickname Wolfpack in 1921, the school regularly played games in Virginia’s Tidewater area. Another former ‘Pack linebacker is in charge of the Pro Personnel department in Chicago, as Kevin Turks (1995-98) holds that position with the Bears. In fact, from 1907-23, NC State played there 21 times in 17 years, with at least one game every year and two games each in ’08, ’09, ’22 and ’23.

Rams. In all, NC State has played 32 neutral-site football games in Norfolk and two in QBU neighboring Portsmouth, Virginia, posting a 15-18-1 record in the Tidewater. Over the last two NFL seasons, no other school has enjoyed as much success at the quarterback position in the NFL than former NC State QBs. During the 2013 The last two of those games were in the Oyster Bowl, a regular-season game and 2014 NFL campaigns, a trio of former Wolfpack QBs have combined to start that raised money for the Norfolk-area Shriner’s Children Hospital.
