30 NC State Football Players to Walk on Senior Day this Saturday

30 NC State Football players will walk on Senior Day this Saturday before the Wolfpack’s game against Boston College. Not all of the players listed below are out of eligibility after this season, and Wolfpack Head Coach Dave Doeren made it clear that they won’t know about their decisions until after the season ends.

Here’s what Doeren had to say about these 30 players today in his weekly press conference.

As I mentioned, it’s the last home game. It’s senior day, opportunity to win our 17th straight and own a record. This group has collectively 336 career receptions, 1,446 tackles and has put up 698 points. [Laughs] They’ve done a lot, there’s 30 guys in this Senior Day. Some of them are underclassmen who haven’t made decisions, so don’t read too much into it. There’s probably seven or eight guys on there that can come back and won’t know until the season’s over. We’ll have to wait that out. But I like to give those guys this opportunity to be a part of it in case they do decide to go pro. So we’ll see where that goes.

But you’ll see a really really impressive group of guys that have been great to coach and phenomenal in building this program back to where it was after a tough season we had three years ago or four years ago now. Love these guys like sons and want to see them sent out the right way, you know? I know our fans love to tailgate and I love that about you. I am asking that you come in a little earlier because it’s Senior Day and the the send off happens before the coin toss. I don’t know the exact minute mark, but we’ll put something out on social media from Annabelle [Myers] about exactly when that’ll start so that you guys can be in the stands for them.

I think that would be meaningful and a good tribute to a great group of guys that have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this program and to your viewing pleasure at times. So, we’d like little payback for those guys. You’re talking about a bunch of really good guys. I’m gonna miss them a lot and so we’ll send them out the right way. (GoPack)

Cornerback Shyheim Battle – Redshirt Sophomore (2 years of eligibility remaining)

NC State offered Stephen F. Austin (FCS) Transfer Defensive Tackle Brandon Lane (6’3″/300) yesterday.

Lane started in 6 of the 11 games he played in for Stephen F. Austin this past season. He finished the year with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. His PFF Grade was 74.6, which ranked 4th on the Lumberjacks Defense. His 79.9 Run Defense Grade ranked 3rd on the team. In 2022, Lane played 7 games as a reserve for Stephen F. Austin, recording 11 tackles 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Lane spent his first two collegiate seasons at South Dakota State (2000-21). In 2000, he played in 1 game. In 2021, he played in 3 games as a reserve for the Jackrabbits. The 2000 season was the Covid Year, and the 2021 season was his redshirt year. As a result, Lane still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Around a week-and-a-half ago, Lane committed to Michigan St., but then he decommitted from the Spartans on May 2nd.

I don’t think Michigan St. is necessarily off the table, and he has visited Washington and West Virginia.

Proposed Bill in the NC House Would Require NC State & UNC To Play One Another, as well as ECU, UNCC and App St.

A bill has been proposed by members of the North Carolina House of Representatives that would force NC State and UNC to play one another, as well as East Carolina, UNC Charlotte and Appalachian State.

According to House Bill 965, which you can read here in full, NC State and UNC would be required to play one another annually in Football, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball. The Wolfpack and the Tar Heels would also be forced to play a game annually in all three sports against either ECU, UNC-Charlotte or App St. Every six years, NC State and UNC would be required to have played a home and away game against each of the three school in all three sports.

Here’s the exact wording from the proposed bill:

Competition Required. – A high-enrollment institution shall do all of the following in each eligible sport: (1) Every academic year, play at least one home or one away game against (i) another high-enrollment institution and (ii) an eligible constituent institution that is not a high-enrollment institution. (2) Every six academic years, play at least one home and one away game against each eligible constituent institution that is not a high-enrollment institution. A high-enrollment institution shall alternate home and away games that are scheduled against the same eligible constituent institution that is not a high-enrollment institution.

For glossary of terms being referenced above:

For the purposes of this bill, “High-enrollment institutions” = NC State and UNC, while “Eligible constituent institutions” = East Carolina, UNC Charlotte and Appalachian State.

It’s worth noting that NC State already has games schedule against each of these teams home-and-away in Football between now and 2031.

2025 – East Carolina (H)

2025 – @ App St.

2026 – App St. (H)

2028 – @ East Carolina

2030 – Charlotte (H)

2031 – @ Charlotte
