NC State’s Devin Leary is SI’s 18th Most Intriguing Quarterback Headed into 2022 Season

Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated revealed his Top-25 Most Intriguing College Football Quarterbacks of 2022 this week, and NC State’s Devin Leary was #18 on his list.

Here’s what he had to say about the Wolfpack Signal Caller:

_______

18. Devin Leary, North Carolina State. In 1978, running back Ted Brown finished sixth in the Heisman voting. That’s the high-water mark for an NC State player; now Leary is trying to surpass it. The school is on the hype train, sending out Leary for Heisman hats a couple of months ago. The Wolfpack have something to sell: Leary has thrown for more than 5,500 career yards despite seeing extensive action in only 22 games, and last year he broke Philip Rivers’s single-season touchdown pass record with 35. This could be the kind of season long-suffering NC State fans have been waiting for since, oh, the Lou Holtz era. If it is, Leary will be in the Heisman discussion. (SI)
