NC State RB Coach Des Kitchings says team is ‘trending’ towards using multiple backs

NC State RBs coach Des Kitchings met with the media after practice last week to talk about his guys and what the rotation might look like. Above is the full video and below is the bulleted highlights.

• Too early to tell if Senior Reggie Gallaspy will be one-man workhorse or if there will be a RB rotation. Still need to find out about some guys.
• Gallaspy could be an 80 play guy, but coaches don’t want him to be. Need guys to step up and give him plays off.
• Football is seeing more teams go to multiple backs. Would like to have 3 you feel comfortable about. Trending that way.
• RS Freshman Nakia Robinson) showing versatility. Was a 2-way guy. Likes recruiting running backs that played on both sides of the ball. Shows toughness. Improving as pass catcher. Has a chance to help team.
• Been fun coaching young guys. Gets to get back to fundamentals and details of the running game.
• Freshman Ricky Person is a very competitive kid. Wants to do everything right. Always goes hard. Very coachable. Chance to be a very good player.
• Reggie (Gallaspy) is a very unselfish guy. Doesn’t go around talking himself up. Doesn’t go around talking about being the next 1,000 yard rusher. His objective is to win.
