NC State’s Season Opener is less than a week away, with the Wolfpack hosting Western Carolina on Thursday night. Before we get to gameday, let’s preview the Tight End Room.
This is a weird position group to breakdown, because of the way NC State designates their Tight Ends on their Depth Chart.
On the Depth Chart, they basically list their starting Receiving Tight End, which they call the FLEXY. Then, they list their starting Blocking Tight End, which they call…well…Tight End.
Heading into the first game against the Catamounts, here’s a look at the Wolfpack’s starting Tight Ends:
FLEXY: Junior Justin Joly (6’3″/251)
Tight End: Redshirt Junior Matt McCabe (6’6″/308)
Joly transferred to NC State from UCONN this offseason.
