NC State’s Depth Chart for Western Carolina (with notes)

Notes

  • Unfortunate Redshirt Junior “X” Receiver CJ Riley will miss the remainder of the season, after tearing his ACL against ECU Saturday.
  • With Riley out, Redshirt Freshman Devin Carter will move into the starting role. Last week there was an “OR” between him and Redshirt Freshman Josiah Provillon, but that has been removed in Week 2. Carter caught 1 pass for 12 yards in Week 1, and Provillon dropped a pass.

The Defensive portion of the Depth Chart is a tad confusing. It basically functions as a depth chart for both the 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 schemes, with the Wolfpack playing the latter most of the day this past Saturday.

It has the Depth Chart for the scenario in which they play 4 defensive linemen, and the depth chart for when they run three linebackers, mushed into one.

  • In the 3-3-5, there’s a “Buck” linebacker, and Redshirt Junior Brock Miller is the starter, with Redshirt Freshman Payton Wilson backing him up. Both players were extremely active on Saturday. This week Redshirt Freshman Seth Williams appears on the depth chart for the first time, as the 3rd string “Buck” Linebacker. Williams was a walk-on who received a scholarship three weeks ago.
    • Last week, with a 4-2-5 depth chart, Miller and Wilson were listed as backups to Louis Acceus at Weakside Linebacker.
  • In the 3-3-5, True Freshman Drake Thomas still remains the backup to Redshirt Sophomore Isaiah Moore at Middle Linebacker, but Redshirt Freshman CJ Hart is now backing up Acceus at Weakside, instead of playing Middle.
  • True Freshman Nose Tackle Josh Harris and True Freshman Defensive Tackle CJ Clark we’re our last week due to injury, and appear on the Depth Chart this week for the 1st time, at third string. Doeren mentioned after the game Saturday that he was hoping Harris would be back this week.

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

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.
