VIDEO: NC State RB Reggie Gallaspy Ready to Play, Embraces Leadership Role (BULLETED)

NC State Senior Reggie Gallaspy met with the media after practice yesterday to talk about their upcoming game vs. JMU, his excitement to get going, and his new leadership role in the running backs room. Above is the full interview, and below is the bulleted highlights.

• Going to come out and attack James Madison we do every team. We aren’t going to treat them any different because they are in a different division.
• Fall Camp went well. There’s still some grey areas to clean up. Still got some time before the game starts.
• We’re ready to get going. Ready to get myself going. Ready to get the other guys going. Ready to get the other guys at my position going. Ready to see how things unfold this season. Think this year is going to be a good year.
• A little bitter sweet knowing that it’s almost the first game, and only a few months before I graduate.
• Leading has been a good change for me. Used to having guys in the room that were at the same level as me mentally. Now I’m dealing with guys coming from different backgrounds trying to learn the offense. I’m trying to teach them. It’s a different role this year. I have to sit guys down and talk to them during practice to show them different looks. Me helping them also helped me open up my football IQ.
• Been encouraging young injured running backs that things happen. It’s the nature of the game. Injuries happen. I’ve just encouraged them while you’re out to keep your head in the book, to make sure they are getting the mental reps.
