NC State in ALL WHITE for FSU

This Saturday NC State will roll out onto Doak Campbell Stadium in ALL WHITE.

The Wolfpack wore ALL WHITE twice last season, splitting the two games.

In the first game NC State lost a game they shouldn’t have lost to East Carolina 30-33. The Wolfpack piled up 505 yards of offense, but also gave away 445 to the Pirates. Jaylen Samuels had one rushing touchdown. Ryan Finley was superb, connecting on 20 of his 31 passes, for 259 yards and a touchdown. Stephen Louis exloded for 142 yards receiving with a touchdown. Airius Moore had 11 tackles, with 4.5 of those going for a loss. Shawn Boone also had 7 tackles and a forced fumble.

In the second game, the Wolfpack defeated Syracuse 35-20 in the Carrier Dome. Once again, they piled on over 500 total yards of offense (544), but this time they limited their opponent to 218 yards. Ryan Finley must love ALL WHITE, because he was 20 of 29 for 340 yards and a touchdown. Jaylen Samuels had another rushing touchdown, and added on 6 receptions for 66 yards. Kelvin Harmon crossed the century mark, with 101 receiving yards and a touchdown. Bradley Chubb led the way with 8 tackles, with 4.5 of them going for a loss, 2 sacks and a forced fumble. Airius Moore loved ALL WHITE once again, adding 3.5 more tackles for loss.

It’s worth noting that when NC State wore ALL WHITE last year, they weren’t sporting the alternate TUFFY helmet. This will mark the 3rd time the Wolfpack has sported this helmet. They lost the first time they wore it back in 2014 to Boston College, and defeated Furman with it on last week.

NC State offered Interior Offensive Lineman D’Angalo Titialii (6’2″/320) today. After entering the Portal, the Wolfpack were the first to offer him.

Titialii spent his first three seasons at Portland State, which competes in the FCS. This year, he was the starting Center for the Vikings, and the year before he was their starting Left Guard. Over three seasons, Titialii started in 28 of the 32 games he played in.

Titialii is an intriguing prospect, considering he can play numerous positions on the Offensive Line.

After Elinus Noel III (6’2″/230) entered the Transfer Portal yesterday, it didn’t take long for NC State to extend an offer.

He also has picked up offers from Baylor and Temple.

Noel III played last year at Texas Southern, which is in the FCS. As a Junior, he had 52 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 10 games.

Prior to Texas Southern, Noel III spent his first two seasons at Nicholls State, where he recorded a total of 53 tackles.

247Sports ranked him as a 3-Star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class out of New Orleans (LA).

Noel III has 1 year of eligibility remaining.

With Nick Campbell entering the Transfer Portal, NC State is in the hunt for some depth at Nose Tackle. Even if the staff were to feel confident with what they have in JR Brandon Cleveland and RS-SODJ Jackson, the Wolfpack is in need of depth at the position.

WATCH: In NC State’s Spring Game, Tight End Justin Joly Showed He is Going to Be Trouble for Opposing Defenses in ’24

It was evident NC State Tight End Justin Joly (6’3″/235) is going to be a problem for opposing defenses after his performance in the 2024 Spring Game a few weeks back. He is an extremely athletic Tight End, but he’s also bigger and more physical than I expected.

According to my calculations, Joly had 3 receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. He started things off with a 3-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone. He followed that up with a 16 yard catch across the middle through contact. Finally, Joly was the recipient of a double-reverse flea flicker, from RB Demarcus Jones II to WR Kevin Concepcion to QB Grayson McCall to him, for a 37-yard gain.

Joly transferred to NC State this offseason from UCONN, and he was the #2 Tight End in the Transfer Portal according to ON3. He had an incredible Sophomore campaign this past year, catching 56 passes for 578 yards and 2 touchdowns. Joly had 4 receptions for 38 yards in the season opener against the Wolfpack.
