SI Ranks Bradley Chubb as #14 Player in 2017

Sports Illustrated has released their list of the Top-100 players in college football heading into the 2017 football season, and NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb is listed at #14. Here’s what they had to say about Chubb:

On talent and depth, NC State’s defensive line falls short of ACC Atlantic competitor Clemson’s. Yet the Tigers may not have any single player in their front capable of matching the impact Chubb will make for the Wolfpack this season. The 6’4”, 260-pound senior, who ranked sixth nationally with 21.5 tackles for loss in 2016, is a force off the edge who can blow up running plays and consistently pressure the quarterback. Chubb’s disruptive presence will be NC State’s best asset in challenging conference games this season at Florida State and against Clemson and Louisville. He could be the difference between the Wolfpack submitting another mediocre season (they went 7–6 in 2016) and a great one. — CJ
