NC State head coach Dave Doeren spoke of the selflessness of Redshirt Freshman Derrick Eason in yesterday’s weekly press conference. When a coach watches a player make a sacrifice for the sake of the team, they swell up with pride.
The depth of the Wolfpack Offensive Line took a serious blow this offseason. Kendall Brown is no longer with the team. Jalynn Strickland is still on scholarship at NC State, but is no longer on the football team due to medical hardship. Graduate Redshirt Senior Tyrone Riley, who was expected to start at Left Tackle, will miss the entirety of the 2019 season due to injury.
