Will Wilson Set a New NC State Record for Rushing Touchdowns by a QB Against UNC
True freshman quarterback Will Wilson rushed for four touchdowns in NC State’s 42–19 win over rival UNC this past Saturday night, setting a new school record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a single game.
Wilson finished the night with 12 carries for 54 yards and four touchdowns against the Tar Heels. The true freshman has become a cheat code for NC State. Whether it’s 2nd-and-short, 3rd-and-short, or 4th-and-short, it seems next to impossible for opposing defenses to keep him from moving the chains.
On the year, Wilson has gained a first down on 64.1% of his carries. His 25 first downs rank second on the team, trailing redshirt sophomore running back Hollywood Smothers by only two.
