Linebacker Payton Wilson made the decision to return to NC State for the 2023 season, and the likely result will be him leaving his mark in the school record books.
Wilson currently has 265 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss and 9 sacks in 3 seasons on the field (I’m not counting the 2021 season in which he played 2 games before suffering a season ending shoulder injury in the 2nd game).
In a world of players leaving for the NFL, and the explosion of the Transfer Portal, breaking into the Top-10 of schools record books will become more and more a thing of the past.
