Heading into NC State’s contest against Syracuse last night, Redshirt Junior Linebacker Caden Fordham was the Wolfpack’s leading tackler. Fordham didn’t play last night, and NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren revealed to Pack Radio after the game that he would miss the remainder of the season due to injury.
As a result of Fordham’s absence, Redshirt Senior Devon Betty moved over to the MIKE Linebacker position, which is the position he played all of last season. Redshirt Freshman Kamal Bonner moved into the starting role at the SAM Linebacker position that Betty had been playing at.
Betty finished the game with 10 tackles last night, which was a career high.
