ON3: NC State’s Secondary Ranks 6th in the Nation

ON3 released their rankings of the Top-12 Secondaries in the nation, and NC State’s ranked 6th.

6. NC State

The standout: S Tanner Ingle
The buzz: All five starters return from a unit that held opposing quarterbacks to a 52.5 percent completion rate last season (second nationally). Ingle isn’t that big (5 feet 10, 186 pounds), but he hits a ton. There is a lot of experience (four of the five starters are upperclassmen) and ample depth, too. (ON3)

The Secondary hasn’t been a strength for NC State through the years, but the tide has shifted in Raleigh. The Wolfpack returns all of their starters from last season.

In 2021, NC State ranked 3rd in the ACC in passing yards given up per game, 1st in completion percentage defense, 2nd in interceptions, and 3rd in passing touchdowns given up.
