NC State has named four team captains for the 2024 season, including two newcomers who joined the team this offseason: quarterback Grayson McCall, center Zeke Correll, defensive lineman Davin Vann, and linebacker Sean Brown.
It’s always impressive when transfer players quickly earn the respect of their teammates, and by all accounts, both McCall and Correll have made significant contributions to the program in various ways. If McCall lives up to the hype from camp, the Pack could be in for a big season.
Davin Vann and Sean Brown will continue to be key leaders on defense, a familiar role for Vann, who is entering his second year wearing the prestigious No. 1 jersey.
Only one more week until game week.
