Mario Williams is an obvious choice for the NC State athletics Hall of Fame—he left Raleigh as the Wolfpack’s all-time sacks leader, and he was also the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Mario was great, and you could sense that every time you watched him play.
What I enjoy most about these Hall of Fame ceremonies, though, is learning about the guys I’d never heard about. Former NC State tennis player Irwin Holmes is a great example; his story is incredible. He was a trailblazer in breaking the color barrier in the ACC. From the GoPack.
