After serving as the Nickels Coach for NC State the past 5 years, and serving as the Interim Defensive Coordinator for the Military Bowl, Freddie Aughtry-Lindsay has picked up two more titles. He will continue to coach the Nickels, but in 2025, he will also be the Nickels Coach, and also carry the title C0-Defensive Coordinator.
NC State needed someone to coach the Safeties after Joe DeForest announced his retirement today.
Aughtry-Lindsay will be a Co-Defensive Coordinator alongside DJ Eliot, who is replacing Tony Gibson as the Wolfpack’s Defensive Coordinator. It’s my expectation that Eliot will call the plays.
