NC State Football’s Highest Graded Players in the ACC

The PFF 2025 All-ACC Football Teams haven’t been released yet, but before they drop, here’s a look at which NC State players rank the highest compared to other ACC players.

Nine Wolfpack players rank in the Top-10 at their respective positions.

Sophomore Quarterback CJ Bailey has a PFF grade of 71.1, which is the 12th-best grade in the ACC.

Redshirt Sophomore Running Back Hollywood Smothers might have earned a spot on the Official All-ACC First Team, but he has just the 10th-best PFF grade. Smothers’ partner in crime, Redshirt Freshman Duke Scott, is actually the highest-graded Wolfpack Running Back, ranking 5th in the ACC with a grade of 80.
