For the second year in a row, the Pack of Wolves NIL collective will host a Meet the Pack day this summer, giving fans the opportunity to meet NC State’s football team for autographs and pictures. The event will take place Saturday, August 19.
Prior to the 2022 season, the collective hosted its Meet the Pack Day at PNC Arena, and nearly every member of the football team was there. That was the first year NC State’s football program held the event since 2019.
In addition to giving the fans an opportunity to meet and build a personal connection with the Wolfpack football athletes, the event will also support the program through name, image and likeness opportunities.
Connecting with Wolfpack nation is a very important part for Pack of Wolves’ mission.
“As a graduate of NC State, the most rewarding part of our work at Pack of Wolves is the connection we make with our student-athletes and our community,” Pack of Wolves general manager Chris Vurnakes told On3 in March. “Our student-athletes commit to engagements with local non-profit organizations, like the Boys and Girls Club, Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity and others as part of their NIL activities for Pack of Wolves.”

This quote is from Wolfpack men’s basketball head coach Kevin Keatts, discussing Roberts’ hiring.
“I’m excited to welcome Mike to our staff,” Keatts said. “He went into coaching the minute his playing career ended, and he’s won a lot of games both as a coach and a player. I was really impressed by Mike throughout the interview process and think he is a great fit with our staff and program. He has a wealth of knowledge, and he’s going to make our players better on and off the court.”
