Its the offseason which means its time to reflect on who we lost, and who we are getting. First of all congrats to Mario Williams, first overall pick in the NFL draft, and also Manny Lawson and John McCargo who were picked in the first round as well. Stephen Tulloch was picked in the 4th round, and Marcus Hudson and TJ Williams were picked in the 6th round. This is a record for number of NC State players being drafted. That speaks huge measures for the schools ability to develop players and for the schools visibility to the NFL, both points for State when talking to potential recruits. Four more players have also been signed in the NFL as free agents. Hopefully we will be able to fill in holes defensively, and develop our offense into something more effective then last year.
Here is NC State’s schedule for next year, and it opens with a game against App State, reigning AA champion from last year and ends with an at home game against ECU. I am looking forward to our second ACC game, which is against FSU in Raleigh. They will be drooling to beat us after we upset them last year. If we can win that game then our season will be given a big boost. I’m looking forward to seeing how things play out.
