6 NC State Players Make PFF’s All-ACC Week 6 Team

Published

6 years ago

on

ProFootballFocus released their Week 6 All-ACC Teams, and 6 NC State players were honored. That’s the most Wolfpack players that have made the team all season. The previous high was 5 in Week 5.

Ryan Finley threw 2 interceptions, and still managed to be the highest graded quarterback in the ACC by over 10 points. He was 25 of 34 (73.5%) for 308 yards and 2 touchdowns. This is Finley’s second time on the PFF ACC Team of the Week in 2018.

Wide Receiver Kelvin Harmon had 9 receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Golden Eagles. The 9 receptions were a season-high, and he caught a touchdown for the 2nd straight week. Harmon has crossed the century-mark in 3 of the 5 games NC State has played in 2018.

Wide Receiver Jakobi Meyers snagged 10 receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted 10 times, making the catch every single time. This is Meyers’ second time on the PFF ACC Team of the Week in 2018.

Offensive Guard Terronne Prescod has made the PFF ACC Team of the Week four out of five times thus far in 2018, and Center Garrett Bradbury has made it three times. The Band of Brothers propelled the Wolfpack running attack to rush for 225 yards (4.3 yards per carry), and didn’t allow Finley to be sacked for the second straight week, and third time all season.

Linebacker Germaine Pratt not only made the PFF ACC Team of the Week, but also made the National Team of the Week. Pratt had 13 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack and 1 fumble forced that he also recovered.

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. will Take an Official Visit at NC State Next Week

By

Akron Safety Kerry Martin Jr. (6’1″/195) confirmed with me that he will be taking an Official Visit to NC State next week beginning on May 7th.

After receiving an offer from NC State yesterday, it didn’t take him long to set up the visit.

Martin Jr. is familiar with NC State, because he was recruited by Wolfpack Defensive Coordinator Tony Gibson before he left West Virginia to come to Raleigh. Even though he never coached him, a relationship was established.

Martin Jr.’s connections to NC State are deeper than that. Former NC State Cornerback Derrek Pitts, who is currently a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs, is his cousin.

This past year, Martin Jr. recorded 45 tackles, 2 interceptions and 6 pass breakups for Akron, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. His PFF Grade was 68.9.

In 2022, he had 53 tackles, 1 interception and 1 pass breakup, starting in 9 of the 11 games he played in. Martin Jr.’s PFF Grade was 60.9.

In 2019, as a Freshman for West Virginia, Martin Jr. earned PFF Freshman All-American honors, recording a grade of 70.6, with 50 tackles and 3 pass breakups.
