NC State’s offensive line transitions into a new era with good pieces in place

NC State has done an excellent job of developing quality offensive linemen during Dave Doeren’s tenure, and it’s done that under the tutelage of a couple of OL coaches—Mike Uremovich and Dwayne Ledford—who left for promotions elsewhere. Heading into 2019, new offensive line coach John Garrison has plenty to live up to, though it helps that the common denominator—strength coach Dantonio Burnette—is still around to work his magic in the weight room.

Over the last couple seasons, NC State has been among the best of the best at protecting the quarterback. The Wolfpack ranked sixth in sack rate on pass plays in 2017 and fourth in that category last season.
