Dave Doeren Updates Media After Practice
NC State has signed Dave Doeren to a 2-year extension, but the extension comes with a raise. Doeren’s base salary in 2023 was $5.02 million.
According to Brian Murphy of WRALSports Fan, Doeren’s salary in 2024 will be $5.5 million, and it will increase by $125,000 each year of the contract. He can earn $1.325 million in academic and athletic performance bonuses on an annual basis.
Below is a breakdown of the bonus structure.
The bonus structure is the same as it was in his previous contract (see above), but the section entitled “Playoff” has been updated as follows:
Former NC State Wide Receiver Julian Gray has committed to play for Liberty next year.
This past season, Gray had career highs in receptions (16) and receiving yards (170). He ranked 4th on the team in receptions, and 7th on the team in receiving yards.
Gray has served as NC State’s primary Kickoff Returner the past two seasons, averaging 24.9 yards per return. This past year, he averaged 26.0 yards per carry, which ranked 3rd in the ACC, and 11th nationally. It stands as the 5th best single-season average in school history.
Back in 2021, ON3 ranked Gray as a 4-star prospect, the #197 overall player nationally, and the #13 player in the state of North Carolina.
Gray has 2 more years of eligibility remaining.

There is something to be said with consistency and stability. Dave Doeren is entering his 12th season at NC State, which ties him for the 6th longest tenure in College Football.
The details of the contract have not been released, and I will break them down when they are revealed, but his annual salary before was $5.02 million.
Here’s what the bonus structure was for Doeren and his assistants prior to today’s extension.
