The Wolfpack quarterback now stands 6’7″ and weighs 215 pounds.

For perspective, Bailey arrived in Raleigh in January 2024 weighing 190 pounds, according to GoPack.com.

Possessing a lean frame, there were concerns about how his body would handle consistent contact at the collegiate level. But Bailey quieted those concerns in his freshman season, proving to be durable and bouncing back up after each hit.

As the Wolfpack signal-caller continues to bulk up, defenders might just start bouncing off him.
