NC State 2024 Football Redshirt Report Heading into the Regular Season Finale

Here’s a NC State Redshirt Report with 1 regular season game remaining.

A redshirt season, is a year that doesn’t count against your 4 years of eligibility. If a player plays more than 4 regular season games, the player is no longer eligible to redshirt the season. Every player is allowed 1 redshirt season in their career, at any point.

NC State has 3 True Freshman that have already burned their redshirt, playing 4+ games.

WR Terrell Anderson – 11 games
WR Keenan Jackson – 11 games
QB CJ Bailey – 10 games

The following True Freshman have seen action this year, but haven’t played in 5 games. As a result, they currently still have the ability to redshirt this season.

True Freshmen that haven’t burned their Redshirt

S Ronnie Royal III – 3 games
LB Zane Williams – 3 games
LB Cannon Lewis – 3 games
WR Jonathan Paylor – 2 games
NIC Asaad Brown – 2 games
DE Joshua Alexander-Felton – 2 games
DE Justin Terrell – 2 games
WR Tank Boston – 1 game
OL Robby Martin – 1 game
OL Trent Mitchell – 1 game
RB Duke Scott – 1 game
WR Christian Zachary – 1 game
CB Jivan Baly – 1 game

All of the True Freshmen above can play in the regular season finale against UNC, with no risk of burning their Redshirt season. In fact, if the Wolfpack wins, all of them could play in a bowl game as well, because bowl games don’t count towards the 4-game max.

The following three players aren’t Freshman, but they haven’t used their redshirt season at this point in their collegiate career, and haven’t exceeded 5 games played in 2024.

Non-Freshmen who potentially could Redshirt the year

SO TE Juice Vereen – 4 games
SR DT Chazz Wallace – 4 games
JR LB Wyatt Wright – 1 game

Vereen was listed as sick when he missed LA Tech and Clemson, but returned to play a total of three snaps against Northern Illinois and Wake Forest. He hasn’t seen the field since then. I will say, after the workload he received as a True Freshman, this is an interesting development to watch.

Wallace transferred in this offseason from Colorado, and has been #3 on the depth chart at Nose Tackle all season. He hasn’t played a snap in the past five games.

Wright was a JUCO commit in this years class. With the turnover at Linebacker, I’m sure he thought he might have been a more significant contributor in the Wolfpack’s defense this year. The only action he’s seen this year, was on Special Teams against Stanford.
