NC State football doing what it can to prepare for a season of unknowns

A sign of the times: Dave Doeren is giving his players reps at different positions in practice so that they will be better prepared to handle potential coronavirus-related personnel losses during the season. There’s no telling when it may be necessary for some abrupt shuffling within personnel groups during the season, so Doeren is doing what he can now.

As we get in there, we’re moving guys. On the offensive line, [Ikem Ekwonu] is playing all over the place. Joe Sculthorpe is playing all over the place; Dylan McMahon and [Grant Gibson]. We’re giving those guys the ability to get reps now in case those things happen, so it’s not game week.
