NC State 2024 Wide Receiver Signee Terrell Anderson will be playing in the All-American Bowl on Saturday at 1pm (on Peacock). Today was Day 1 of practice, and Anderson was ON3’s #2 player on Team West. The MVP ahead of him was Texas Quarterback Signee Trey Owens, who was throwing him the ball.
Here’s what ON3’s Cody Bellaire had to say about Anderson’s performance today:
2. WR Terrell Anderson — NC State
During a downpour, it should be expected for receivers to have a tough time catching the football consistently. But for Terrell Anderson, it was a non-issue. Anderson showed his natural ball tracking during the routes-on-air portion of practice. Then he followed that with some dominant 1-on-1 reps where he created space and worked himself open on nearly every route even though the passes may have not been on target. But during the team period he showed just how dominant he could be at the catch point. He caught a pass over the middle of the field from Texas signee Trey Owens in an extremely heavy rain. And then he came down with a contested catch on the following drive. He showed tremendous poise and consistency in heinous conditions where other receivers struggled to function. Anderson put on a show and will look to continue showing out for the remainder of the week. – Cody Bellaire

Battle had 1 year of eligibility remaining, but declared for the NFL Draft on January 3rd.
He finished this past year as the most experienced player on the Wolfpack’s defense, starting in 41 of the 51 games he has played in dating back to 2019. In a rarity in this day-and-age, Battle was a 4-year starter at the Cornerback position for NC State. He graduated with a degree in Communications.
In his final season in Red and White, Battle had 46 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions, 4 pass breakups and 1 fumble recovery. His PFF Grade of 70.6 was the 7th best on the Wolfpack defense.
Kennedy III won’t be without a friend. He will be joined by Defensive End Savion Jackson, who also signed an Undrafted Free Agent deal.
Kennedy started for the Wolfpack in every single game this season at Nickelback, tallying 31 tackles, 2 interceptions, 6 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery.
His ProFootballFocus grade for the season is 79.7, which is the 2nd highest grade on the Wolfpack defense, and the highest grade of all the Safeties that came out of the Transfer Portal last year.
In his one season in Raleigh, Narveson made 18 of his 23 Field Goal attempts for the Wolfpack, and made all 38 Extra Point attempts. Narveson made some history in his one season at NC State, kicking a 57-yard Field Goal against Duke, breaking the school record for the longest Field Goal.
Narveson ranked 4th in the ACC in Field Goals attempted (23), and 5th in Field Goals made (18) this season. He ranked 9th in conference in scoring (7.1 points per game).
Sounds awesome.
