The state of Wolfpack football after the regular season and what’s next

The Pack is going bowling — but that’s not all that’s new with NC State football. Read up on personnel changes + more before the last game of the season.

After a thrilling win over UNC last Saturday, NC State ended its regular season at 6-6, scraping through to earn a bowl game trip in the final minutes of the game. Here’s what you need to know about the postseason + next year’s squad.

Let’s talk personnel changes. Wide receiver + Pack fave KC Concepcion has entered the transfer portal, and his brother Arrion also rescinded his commitment to NC State. It’s not all bad news. Freshman QB CJ Bailey, who took over after Grayson McCall’s scary end to the season, will stay with the Pack next season. Phew.

Most bowl games will be announced next week, and some insiders have predictions for where the Pack will find itself — but it sounds like the Pop-Tarts Bowl might be off the table. Wherever the Wolfpack goes, though, fans will be sure to follow.
