Devin Leary.
The Redshirt Sophomore Quarterback willed NC State to their 1st victory over a ranked opponent since 2017 today, beating #24 Pitt 30-29 on the road.
This was supposed to be Leary’s team entering 2020, but he was forced to quarantine for 21 days due to COVID-19 contact tracing. The result was him not being ready to take the reins in Week 1.
After Redshirt Junior Bailey Hockman played well in a 45-42 season opening win over Wake Forest, there was the chance that Leary had lost his shot due to a series of unfortunate events.
