NC State Junior Tight End David Grinnage was one of 32 players named to the watch list for the 2015 John Mackey Award today, which has been distributed to the best collegiate Tight End since 2000.

Last season Grinnage reeled in 27 receptions for 358 yards.  He also was tied for the team lead in touchdown receptions, and finished the year strong with all 5 of them coming in the final seven games.  Grinnage is a player that has the raw athletic ability and skills to be a possible draft pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
