The N.C. State football team had their first practice on Wednesday, July 31, as they get ready for the 2024 season.
The Wolfpack have a lot of new faces on the offense, including quarterback Grayson McCall, a transfer from Coastal Carolina, wide receiver Noah Rogers, a Rolesville High School graduate and a transfer from Ohio State, and running back Jordan Waters, a transfer from Duke.
N.C. State will look to improve on their 9-4 record in 2023 and will open the season on Thursday, Aug. 29, against Western Carolina.
