NC State announced this morning that Sophomore Quarterback CJ Bailey, Redshirt Senior Linebacker Sean Brown, Redshirt Senior Linebacker Caden Fordham and Redshirt Senior Offensive Guard Anthony Carter Jr. will serve as their Football captains in 2025.
Bailey was thrust into the starting role at Quarterback as a True Freshman in 2024, passing for 2,413 yards and 17 touchdowns (10 interceptions) in 12 games (9 starts). He completed 64.9% of his passes, and produced a Passing Efficiency Rating of 144.0. Bailey also made an impact with his feet, rushing for 279 yards and 5 touchdowns. Back in December, I made the argument that Bailey put together the 2nd best season at Quarterback by a Freshman in NC State history.
