NC State reports to fall camp Tuesday, officially signaling the start of the college football preseason. In the days leading up to practice, On3 released its most recent ACC power rankings and slotted the Wolfpack in at No. 4.
After finishing 8-5 in 2022, NC State returns quite a bit of experience on both sides of the ball and added veteran quarterback Brennan Armstrong through the transfer portal to team up with first-year offensive coordinator Robert Anae.
On3’s Jesse Simonton explained why he ranked the Pack between UNC and Louisville.
“Dave Doeren has yet to break through and make the ACC Championship with the Wolfpack,” Simonton wrote. “Could this be the season? Probably not.
“While NC State returns a solid foundation (six starters including linebacker Payton Wilson and corner Aydan White) off a defense that was Top 5 in the conference in 2022, the Wolfpack have concerns offensively (no more Thayer Thomas and Devin Carter at wideout), for a unit that already wasn’t very explosive last season. Doeren brought in former Virginia OC Robert Anae, as well as ex-Cavs QB Brennan Armstrong, hoping the pair can reunite and capture similar success they had in Charlottesville (31 touchdowns and 8.9 yards per attempt) back in 2021.”
