Quarterback Ryan Finley spoke yesterday at NC State’s Media Day. Check out the VIDEO below, and a BULLETED breakdown underneath.

  • Junior Kelvin Harmon, Senior Steph Louis, and Redshirt Junior Jakobi Meyers are straight dogs. They can run. They’re huge. Great redzone targets.
  • Kelvin and Steph are super hard workers. Passion for the game. They have goals, and intend on reaching them. They’re big. Great route runners. Kelvin has a knack for the ball. Steph is very powerful in his route running, gets open a lot, and comes down with the football.
  • Jakobi is a little bit more swift and fluid. Really good in man-to-man coverage. Reliable hands.
  • I want people to say I was a good player and was good for the community. Did things the right way. Have a successful career in the NFL. That I cared about my teammates and was willing to do anything for the team.
  • Have to shut out the talk of the NFL Draft, and enjoy these times with your teammates. Stay in the moment.
  • Been to two different universities, and I’ve never met anyone like Kelvin. He just spends more time at his craft. He realizes the work he does off of the field translate. He’s always at this facility. He has his priorities in line, and I think that’s why he’s been successful.
  • Graduate running back Brady Bodine had a really good scrimmage yesterday. Will be exciting to see if he gets an opportunity. He’s a friend of mine. I trust him. He’s a veteran leader. Despite the fact that he hasn’t played much, he’s still viewed as a leader in that room along with Senior Reggie Gallaspy. He’s very confident and smart. He knows the plays.

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.
