There was a good chance before Tuesday that five freshmen — Antoine Thompson, Kevince Brown, Xavier Lyas, Erin Collins and Isaiah Moore — would not have made much of a positive impact on N.C. State’s football season.
The five newcomers could have a negative impact on what has been shaping up to be a promising season for the Wolfpack.
The school announced disciplinary action against the five players on Tuesday amid a sexual assault investigation. Thompson, a freshman receiver, and Brown, a freshman defensive end, were dismissed from the team for their role in an on-campus party on July 21.
