If newcomer Carson Wise is worried about the importance of his role at N.C. State, he’s not showing it.
The laid-back, soft-spoken graduate transfer from a Division II school is prepared to help the Wolfpack upgrade its kicking game this season.
“I’ve been doing this awhile and I feel good about (the season),” Wise said.
Coach Dave Doeren has praised Wise’s consistency in practice in the run-up to Saturday’s opener with South Carolina at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.
The Wolfpack enters the 2017 season Saturday at 3 p.m. in Charlotte with the hope of breaking out of a 7- or 8-win cycle.
