NC State head coach Dave Doeren announced at his weekly press conference on Monday that the Wolfpack will be without the services of two key starters for the remainder of the 2021 season.
The most notable of the pair is senior middle linebacker Isaiah Moore, who was considered to be a candidate for ACC Defensive Player of the Year. Moore — who for the last two seasons has worn the No. 1 jersey that NC State awards to its most vocal leader — currently ranks second on the team in tackles and has made 22 stops at or behind the line of scrimmage.
