Was he even projected to get any PT?? Isn't that the 25 year old kid who's had several ACL injuries? I don't think this is a significant loss.

i think he missed more practices than he was a part of. So long.

"RALEIGH, N.C. - Sophomore defensive end Ty Linton, who came to NC State in 2014 after a professional baseball career, has decided to leave the team and enroll in MTSU's aeronautical science program. Linton sat out last season after suffering an ACL injury. "My dream has always been to become a pilot," Linton said. "My mom, dad and two sisters are in the flight industry so it's always been a passion of mine. I'm 25 years old with two knee surgeries behind me and no ambition to play football at the next level, so it's time for me to start thinking about my career. "I want to thank Coach Doeren and the Wolfpack family for the opportunity to be a part of this program. I've met a lot of great people in a short time and consider my NC State teammates to be my brothers." Linton was taken in the 14th round of the 2010 MLB draft and went on to play three years in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. He joined the Wolfpack program in January of 2014 before suffering a knee injury in spring workouts. "I'm proud of Ty for achieving admission to flight school," said head coach Dave Doeren. "He came here to follow his dreams and I have loved being a part of his career. He will be a very successful professional.""

he wasn't on scholarship and provided depth at a position where it was lacking. he may not have ever been a contributor after his second knee injury, but this is still a little disappointing given that he was a fairly sought-after recruit coming out of high school (consensus 3*) that eventually came to Raleigh over Chapel Hill.

"3. N.C. State 2014: 8-5, 3-5 ACC. Head coach: Dave Doeren (3rd season, 11-14 at N.C. State). They’re back: QB Jacoby Brissett, RB Matt Dayes. They’re gone: LT Rob Crisp, DT Thomas Teal. Outlook: The new season doesn’t start where the old one finished. N.C. State, after winning four of its last five games, will need to remember that, but the Wolfpack is in good shape for 2015. Brissett will have plenty of options in an offense that should take another step forward. The defense returns most of its starters and should be better in a full season with pressure schemes. The Wolfpack will have to figure out how to win on the road – trips to biennial pitfalls Wake Forest and Boston College await – to build on last year’s progress."

Coach McDonald tweeted it & several of the other assistants retweeted it. The ones Doeren has been tweeting out are not great but still much better.

my favorite part is the blue Florida map, as if it was impossible to change the color or just google image search "red Florida"

Reagan, originally from Jacksonville (FL), did not play in his two seasons with the Wolfpack. McCoy, a Groveland (FL) native, enrolled at NC State this past January and participated in the Wolfpack's spring game. He had yet to suit up for the Pack in a regular season game."

"NC State might officially have been awarded “sleeper” status in the ACC. Over the course of the last two weeks, the Wolfpack are one of the teams igniting the most discussion among us within the ACC blog and beyond. While on a radio interview Wednesday, I was asked whether they have a legitimate chance to win the Atlantic. In the program’s third year under Dave Doeren, what are the expectations for a program that clearly has an arrow pointing up? How good should NC State be in 2015 and how many wins will constitute a successful season? The roster could still use a few more recruiting cycles to get the offensive and defensive lines and the groups’ depth to where it needs to be, but overall their starting lineups on offense and defense are experienced and productive. Jacoby Brissett needs to be more consistent and to get better play from his O-line for the Wolfpack offense to reach its potential. Grant Halverson/Getty Images Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is a solid quarterback and he’s flanked in the backfield by Shadrach Thornton -- only two ACC backs were tackled for no gain or a loss at a better rate -- and budding star Matt Dayes. The offensive line returns three starters, and despite the unexpected departure of Bo Hines at receiver, the coaches have expressed confidence in the receivers and tight ends. Defensively, the Wolfpack lost a number of key contributors but the back seven is loaded with experience. There are concerns along the defensive line, but former blue-chip recruits Darian Roseboro and Kentavius Street have transitioned nicely. With the talent and experience returning, NC State is undoubtedly poised for another winning season and bowl game. But those were the top goals for 2014, and aspirations should be higher in Year 3 with a more seasoned and talented roster. When taking the schedule into account too, it almost demands the Wolfpack finish the regular season 8-4 (assuming they stay relatively healthy), but even that could warrant disappointment around Raleigh, North Carolina. A doughy nonconference schedule includes three Group of 5 schools and an FCS opponent, so for a second straight season the Wolfpack should be 4-0 entering the ACC. The Atlantic is the tougher division right now, but it could be looking at a down year. Florida State (11 draft picks) and Louisville (10) are recovering from a rash of departures, and Clemson’s tasked with replacing its three best defensive players and almost an entire defensive line. Breaking down the Wolfpack’s schedule, there are six should-be wins with the four nonconference games plus Syracuse and Wake Forest. That leaves Louisville, at Virginia Tech (on a Friday night), Clemson, at Boston College, at Florida State and North Carolina. Virginia Tech will be coming off a game against Pittsburgh, which has running back James Conner, who plows through defenses with bad intentions. Clemson comes after a road game at Miami. Florida State hosts the Wolfpack but after a five-week stretch that includes rival Miami and Louisville and road games at Georgia Tech and Clemson. The Seminoles travel to Clemson the week before NC State rolls into Tallahassee. NC State needs to go at least 3-3 in those games, but ideally if it can upset any of their biggest Atlantic threats, it should get the Wolfpack to 9-3 and keep them involved in the division race through November. For that to happen, Brissett will have to be more consistent. He flashed greatness at certain points, but his inexperience cost the Wolfpack in some games. He ranked 20th in raw QBR at the end of September; he was 73rd from October through the end of the season. It isn’t simply throwing with more accuracy either, as Brissett and his offensive line need to work in better union. The offensive line will have its ups and downs -- former ESPN 300 guard Will Richardson might solidify the group -- but Brissett needs to do a better job of getting rid of the football in rhythm. As David Hale points out, Brissett was hit a lot after that blistering September and he wasn’t holding onto the football, either. Defensively, the Wolfpack frankly need to drastically improve, especially at getting off the field. Only North Carolina was worse on third downs, and the Wolfpack’s average defensive drive covered 2:38, second worst among Power 5 schools. As talented as the back seven is in Raleigh, a youthful defensive line needs to emerge. Roseboro and Street have done so in practice, but will it translate to the fall? Are there enough pieces around them and fellow starters B.J. Hill and Mike Rose? If the Wolfpack can generate pressure, it should help a defense that was 47th in scoring among Power 5 teams against Power 5 opponents. NC State’s roster is still a few years away from being where Doeren would like it, but the schedule and circumstances surrounding the ACC have the Wolfpack in position to make a run. Are they a sleeper? They should be."

sadly Brissett gets no love

6/4/2015 9:12:08 AM

^That list is a COMPLETE joke.

UNC with 13 guys on the 4 teams, most in the ACC.
Hood over Dayes is a complete joke. Only thing Hood had more of last year than Dayes was recruiting stars going into the season.

6/4/2015 9:30:00 AM

Brisset didn't make the list, WOW.

6/4/2015 12:39:15 PM

yeah but somehow unc's vaulted o-line we destroyed managed two first teamers and a second teamer on it and marquise williams is the 3rd team qb. clearly phil steele knows his stuff

6/4/2015 1:48:54 PM

Well if you go based off stats, Williams beats Brissett in almost every category.

Give me Brissett all day over Williams and his inflated stats. Hard to argue against the other 3 QBs though, also could have Golson in the mix down in FSU.

Phil Steele has been riding UNC's dick at least since Butch Davis started coaching there - he, more than any other national publication it seems, is always on the "UNC is a dark horse, sleeping giant" bandwagon. So I'm not shocked he is once again overrating UNC.

ESPN: Darkhorse ACC Player of the Year: Offense/Defense

Quote :

"OFFENSE Jacoby Brissett (QB, NC State): Only four quarterbacks in the nation last season threw for at least 20 touchdowns and 2,500 yards and had five or fewer interceptions. Two were drafted by NFL teams (Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley), another is a Heisman favorite for 2015 (Cody Kessler). The fourth is Brissett. There are questions about his receiving corps, and he needs to cut down on his fumbles this year, but Brissett had NC State’s offense clicking for much of last year, and there’s no reason to think he won’t get even better in 2015. DEFENSE Josh Jones (S, NC State): No one is predicting another ACC safety will put up numbers like Louisville’s Gerod Holliman did a year ago, but Jones could be this year’s breakthrough performer at the position. He finished with four picks last year, and his move to the starting lineup coincided with a major turnaround for the Wolfpack defense. If that trend continues, he’ll be a name ACC fans are familiar with by year’s end."
