NC State will need to replace the 2021 team’s top wideout in Emeka Emezie. That’s clear, and it’s been a known situation since last season ended.
Thayer Thomas won’t be a one-for-one replacement for Emezie, but his sure-hands, good routes, ability to find holes in coverage, and toughness will sure make things easier on Devin Leary in 2022.
Oh, and every reception, yard, and touchdown he tallies will push his name further up the Wolfpack record books into some rarified air.
Thayer enters the season already at #7 on the career receptions list with 158.
