Former NC State Running Back Kendrick Raphael is Transferring to Cal
Former NC State Running Back Kendrick Raphael is transferring to Cal.
Raphael rushed for 425 yards and 3 touchdowns this past season as a Sophomore with the Wolfpack, averaging 5.3 yards per carry. He also had 10 receptions for 41 yards. As a True Freshman, he rushed for 309 yards and a touchdown in 2023, averaging 4.6 yards per carry.
After starting the year #2 on the Depth Chart behind Jordan Waters this past Fall, it was Redshirt Freshman Hollywood Smothers who became the starter for the 2nd half of the year. Heading into 2025, there isn’t any doubt that Smothers is RB1 in Raleigh. Rapahel could be looking for an opportunity to be a starting Running Back for his final two seasons.
