NC State redshirt junior QB Devin Leary was voted as the preseason ACC Player of the Year.
Leary (6'1"/212) is coming off a very strong year where he threw for 3,433 yards on 65.7% completion to go with a 35:5 TD:INT ratio. Big things are expected of Leary and the Wolfpack, who came in second to Clemson in the preseason ACC Champion poll. Leary loses elite tackle Ikem Ekwonu and a few of his offensive weapons, but should still have enough to keep the Wolfpack in contention, especially if he continues to develop. He’s already being mocked in the first round for the 2023 NFL Draft, and if he lives up to the hype he’ll certainly be in the mix as the top QB off the board.
