NC State will conclude its 2017 season against Arizona State in the Sun Bowl on Friday afternoon; the game also represents the finale for a significant senior class. NC State’s football program has progressed to this point in large part thanks to the veterans who’ll be moving on after today. These are the guys who came on board early in Dave Doeren’s tenure and re-built the foundation after the bottom fell out post-TOB.
I’ll miss seeing all of these guys around next fall. Mostly I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that we have only four more quarters of Jaylen Samuels in an NC State uniform.
