NC State looking for bounceback year from receiving corps

It was just two years ago that NC State had one of the best and most underrated receiving corps in the country. And then, like so many other things in 2019, it went off a cliff. After posting two 1,000 yards receiving seasons in 2018, the Pack’s leading receiver in 2019 had just 576 yards. The good news is the Pack lose just one player who caught a pass last year, so things set up nicely for a bounceback season.

Things are going to start with Emeka Emezie. The senior receiver was a stud as a sophomore in 2018, but he didn’t get his due playing behind two 1,000 yard receivers in Kelvin Harmon and Jakobi Meyers.
