NC State DE Travali Price sees fruits of his labor pay off 

The offseason breeds players pushing for a bigger role. That’s no different at NC State, and a key player looking to take over an integral part of the Wolfpack’s defense was redshirt junior defensive end Travali Price. After he played 355 total snaps last fall, Price saw a spot for the taking this season. Savion Jackson, a four-year impact defender for the Wolfpack, ran out of eligibility and that opened up an opportunity for someone to step up.  Price wanted to be that guy. But to do that, he needed to have an outstanding offseason program to not only impress the coaching staff, but to position himself as the leader in the clubhouse.  The Lincolnton, N.C., native did just that.
