NC State WR Anthony Smith Enters the Transfer Portal

NC State Redshirt Sophomore Wide Receiver Anthony Smith just announced that he will not be playing in the Wolfpack’s bowl game, and will be entering his name in the Transfer Portal.

After careful consideration and lengthy discussions with my family, I’ve decided to forego the bowl game. I will be entering my name into the transfer portal. I’d like to thank WPN for welcoming me into your family!!@TransferPortal_ @247SportsPortal pic.twitter.com/05VAK7MeYm

Smith played in 10 games this season, but only caught 2 passes for 19 yards, with both of those catches coming in the past 3 weeks. He was originally a 3-Star prospect in the Pack’s 2020 recruiting class, out of Huntingtown, Maryland.

Due to his height and speed, heading into almost every season since he arrived in Raleigh, there has been an expectation that Smith might break out. Unfortunately, it never happened, though Doeren has shared that Smith has worked hard this season to get himself in the mix at seasons end.

Over 4 seasons, Smith played in 34 games, catching 13 passes for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns. Due to the wiping away of the Covid Season (2020), and redshirting last season, Smith has two years to play his final two years of eligibility.
