If you’re not familiar with what the Alpha Wolf Starter does, they come out before the team takes the field with a microphone in hand, for the sole purpose of hyping up the crowd.

Emezie’s 229 career receptions are the most in NC State history. Due to the extra Covid-19 year, Emezie played 5 full seasons on the football field. Even if you subtract his 60 receptions from his final season, he would have had 169 receptions, which would rank 7th in school history. His 2,895 career receiving yards rank 3rd, and his 19 touchdown receptions rank 5th.
