NC State Senior running back Shadrach Thornton was 93 yards shy of 1,000 yards rushing last season. There are only 7 Wolfpack running backs in school history that crossed that barrier, and becoming the 8th isn’t an option for Thornton. It has to happen.
“My expectation is nothing less than 1,000 yards. Bottom line…I’ve got to get it. I’ve had three years, and have come closer and closer,” said Thornton. “This year is the year that I get it. It’s one of the biggest goals that I have to obtain. If I can do that, I know that I will help bring positive production to this offense.
