The dynamic duo made school history today, becoming the first two receivers at NC State to ever gain 1,000 yards receiving in the same season, and only the 4th duo in ACC history.

Only three ACC receivers crossed the 1,000-yard mark in the regular season, and 2 of them wore Red & White (Wake Forest’s Greg Dortch was the other – 1,078). It should be noted that Meyers played one less game than both Harmon and Dortch due to injury.

Meyers entered today’s contest as the ACC leader in receptions per game (7.6), ranking 6th nationally.
