Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician · Jun 24, 2022
Get to Know Your Orange Man: #55, OL Josh Ilaoa
Position: Offensive line
Year: Sophomore
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 302 lbs.
Hometown: Charlotte, N.C.
High School: Mallard Creek
2021 stats: Played in eleven contests, backing up the middle of the unit. He played both center and guard, earning his first career start at NC State and filling in as a utility man where needed for the Syracuse Orange.
2022 predictions: Ilaoa showed flashes last year but needed some work in the off-season. If he put in that shift, he’s closer to working into the equation at center. He’s likely the backup to Vettorello in the middle of the line, where he landed on last year’s two deep and allows some cover at guard as well.
