N.C. State got a boost from Stephen Louis last year. Coach Dave Doeren is hoping for a similar return from three players who missed the 2016 season with injuries.
Louis missed the 2015 season, in what was supposed to be his sophomore season, with injuries to both shoulders.
The 6-2, 217-pound receiver came back last year and led the Wolfpack with 678 receiving yards. He caught 35 passes, for a team-best 19.4 yards per catch, and had a pair of touchdowns.
Germaine Pratt is one of three veteran redshirt players returning to the lineup for the Wolfpack this fall.
