Ryan Finley: I would tell [Wolfpack fans] I am thankful for them. I am excited to one day call Raleigh my home. I am going to be a very proud alumnus....I am just grateful for them. Some of the best moments of my entire life have happened at Carter-Finley.
Dave Doeren: The NCAA stands for No Clue At All in my opinion. I don't really care what they say about it.. if you look at the CFP definition of what's going to happen in one of their games, that team is forfeiting. We're following the same guidelines those bowls will follow.
NC State is now 4-1 against Top 10 teams with
@CoachKeattsNCSU
as head coach. Pack has defeated No. 2 Arizona, No. 2 Duke, No. 7 Auburn, and No. 10 North Carolina.

@payton_wilson21
on NC State: I fit in at the school. I'm a country guy who loves to play hard-nosed football, and that's what they are about there. They care about football at State. They don't just go to watch until basketball season.
COMMIT ALERT: NC State just landed a huge commitment from Ohio State freshman wide receiver Noah Rogers, who will be returning home to Raleigh with four years of eligibility remaining.

QB Drake Maye: “I didn’t want to miss out on the home state… growing up in Carolina, you’re gonna be a Carolina fan. Some people may say State, but really people who go to State just can’t get into Carolina…”
We’ve heard all spring about true freshman running back
@knight_zonovan
and here is his long TD run in the spring game. He’s going to be a major player for the Wolfpack.
@PackFootball
Doeren: If I'm a young player at NC State seeing all these NFL guys coming back to hang out that would say something to me. These guys have a lot of money and can go anywhere on their bye week but they are here watching us play football.
Dave Doeren is now the first head coach in
@PackFootball
history with three nine-win seasons. He has a chance to get his tenth win this year, which would be just the second ten-win season in program history.
Payton Wilson: "I love Wolfpack Nation to death, do not get me wrong, and I love M.J., he's played some of the best ball from a quarterback I've seen at this school, but we've got to stop booing Brennan. He's hard-nosed. He's a great person...
NC State wanted more transparency from UCLA. State probably knew UCLA had a couple out due to COVID, but there's a huge gap from a couple out to canceling 5 hours before kickoff. Not knowing it was even close to that is likely why
@StateCoachD
is pissed, and rightfully so.
D.J. Horne sinks the winning basket to cap a late rally and hand NC State a crucial, 78-77, road win at Clemson.
Horne finished with 27 points (10-20 FG, 5-11 3FG), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.
Dave Doeren: "I can't control the lack of respect that we seem to get publicly. We know about it. Our team recognizes that people don't think we're good. We're just going to take care of what we can. We're going to focus on us.
NC State linebacker Payton Wilson has made his decision. The Wolfpack star will return for a final season, and he discussed his decision with Inside Pack Sports.
NC State's
@DevinLeary1
led the ACC in TD passes, fewest INTs, and completion % in ACC play. He was also 2nd in QB efficiency, and did it for a team that finished 6-2 in the league. He probably should make 1st or 2nd team All-ACC.
Duke All-ACC running back
@jordanwaters_
just announced his decision to attend NC State. A converted wide receiver, Waters runs with physicality and has untapped potential in the receiving game.
NC State's
@StateCoachD
is accurate when he says he can prove his staff develops players. The 2014
@PackFootball
recruiting class had 11 All-ACC players, 5 All-Americans, a Nagurski winner, and a Rimington winner. 0 of those 11 players were 4-star recruits per 247. Impressive.
Despite suffering dislocations of both shoulders in the first half of Saturday’s 23-13 win over Georgia Tech, led NC State with 11 tackles while playing a season low 53 snaps. ACC LB of the week

NC State head coach
@CoachKeattsNCSU
: When you think about what we are trying to build here at NC State, our fan base is pretty much like Eric Lockett. No one gives up anything, and we work hard for everything we can. We are building a program.
COMMIT ALERT: Pittsboro (NC) Northwood 2025 jumbo athlete Gus Ritchey has flipped his commitment from North Carolina to NC State just over a week after picking the Tar Heels.
COMMIT ALERT: NC State just landed a huge commitment from 2025 in-state wide receiver Arrion Concepcion, the younger brother of Wolfpack star KC Concepcion.
NC State wins that game by 20 at home and without Bert Smith officiating. State can't have that guy anymore. This was his seventh State game of the season. He's just terrible.
That'll do it. No. 4 NC State beats No. 1 Louisville 74-60. Second win on the road over a top-ranked opponent for NC State this season. First season in program history with two wins over No. 1 teams.
