VIDEO: 4-star QB commit Devin Leary has big night in win, now 3-0

Published

on

#QBU is becoming a thing. With former Wolfpack QBs Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Jacoby Brissett and Mike Glennon all getting NFL starts this weekend NC State becomes only the 4th school in history to do that.

On top of that, current QB Ryan Finley recently moved into the top 10 all-time in career passing yards in only 1.25 years and there is already discussion that Finley could have a nice NFL future.

So, who is next for the Wolfpack? Jalan McLedon is the current backup, but will it be his job to lose after Finley graduates after next season? Maybe, but he will have to compete with incoming 4-star QB Devin Leary from Sicklerville, NJ.

We are keeping tabs on Leary as he plays his senior season for Timber Creek.  With a win this past Saturday, they are now 3-0 and are being led by the big arm of Devin Leary who went for 252 yards on 15 completions and 2 TDs. Check out the highlights above (Leary is #13.)
