Junior Wide Receiver Emeka Emezie didn’t have the day that he would have liked yesterday, finishing with 2 receptions for 22 yards, with quite a few drops, but it was enough for him to cross century mark in receptions for his career.
Emezie is only the 20th player in NC State history with 100+ career receptions, sitting at 101.

That’s quite a list. Some stand out more than others, to me, because I remember when “cheap” throwaway passes for 1 or 2 yards didn’t exist. Some of these guys caught mostly down-the-field passes for big yardage. I miss those days. Nah, I miss those players!
