NC State’s Depth Chart vs. Marshall (with notes)

Published

NC State released their depth chart for this Saturday’s road matchup vs. Marshall today at Wolfpack Head Coach Dave Doeren’s weekly press conference.

See Notes Below.

Notes

  • Redshirt Freshman Grant Gibson has been moved from Defensive Tackle to the Offensive Line, and has instantly joined the 2-Deep. Redshirt Junior Philip Walton is no longer backing up Sophomore Joshua Fedd-Jackson, because Gibson has taken the #2 spot. Doeren explained at the presser that Gibson wasn’t seeing reps at Defensive Tackle, and that the move made the team better, and Gibson better in the long run. He said Redshirt Sophomore Joe Sculthorpe is their 6th man on the Offensive Line, and that he can step in at Center if Bradbury goes down, or he can go pretty much play anywhere else on the line. Gibson had been taking some snaps at center during drills throughout Fall Camp, and played Center some in High School. Doeren mentioned that he could follow the same path that Redshirt Graduate Senior Center Garrett Bradbury took (D-Line to O-Line). It seems like Doeren thinks that Gibson could be Bradbury’s replacement in 2019, and Sculthorpe could step in for either Redshirt Senior Tyler Jones or Terronne Prescod on the Left Side of the Offensive Line after they graduate.
  • Redshirt Sophomore Cary Angeline is eligible, and has instantly moved into the starting role at Tight End as expected. Redshirt Sophomore Dylan Autenrieth is finally healthy and is slotted right behind him with an “OR” between their names. Doeren mentioned that having both of them will be a big boost in the rushing attack for the Wolfpack. He also mentioned that Angeline isn’t going to go in there and snag “30 catches” in a game right out of the gate. He has been playing with the scout team, and has just now moved over to the 1’s. It will take him time to adjust like any other player.
  • Freshman Ricky Person is out again this week again with a “muscle” injury, and that is why you see Redshirt Graduate Senior Brady Bodine behind Freshman Trent Pennix at the #3 spot at the Running Back position. Bodine took advantage of Person’s absence against Georgia State, leading the team in rushing, and picking up his 1st career touchdown.

Redshirt Freshman Hollywood Smothers seemingly was the 3rd string Running Back in NC State’s 2024 Spring Game a few weeks back, but at the end of the game, he had more rushing yards than any other back.

Smothers rushed the ball 8 times for 75 yards. He possesses explosive speed, as well as excellent vision.

Check out Pack Insider’s Tape of Smothers from the Spring Game.

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.
