Throwback Jaylen Samuels is NC State's do-it-all star

The problem with doing something no one else is doing is that, in a pinch, it can be a little tough to explain.

Take, for example, those moments when a casual fan asks Jaylen Samuels a simple enough question: What position do you play?

Short answer: It’s complicated.

“I get that a lot,” he said. “I don’t even know what to say.”

Samuels meets with the tight ends, but at 5-foot-11, 225 pounds he quite clearly doesn’t fit in next to Cole Cook (6-6, 250) or recent conversion Pharoah McKever (6-6, 260).
