Senior starting Nose Tackle Brandon Cleveland had to sit out the first half of NC State’s game against ECU last Thursday, due to his involvement in the postgame brawl after the Military Bowl against the Pirates.
Cleveland logged 1 tackle in NC State’s 24-17 win over ECU.
He spoke with the media yesterday after practice, unpacking how hard it was for him to watch the first half on the field, rather than warring in the trenches with his brothers on the Defensive Line.
