Elite All-Big 12 Defender’s Surprise Commitment Could Transform NC State Football Overnight
While there were issues galore, namely a plethora of injuries on both sides of the ball, a profusely leaky defense was a glaring problem. The Wolfpack are hoping their newest addition can help on that front.
Former Texas Tech edge rusher Joseph Adedire is transferring to NC State, per Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer of 247 Sports and CBS Sports. This last-minute acquisition could prove to be highly impactful for a unit that allowed 30.2 points per game last season. Assuming he is healthy, that is.
This transfer looks for fresh start with NC State football
Adedire suffered a season-ending knee injury before the start of his junior campaign last year, so he might need a little time to get comfortable competing in high-level action again. Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren is trusting that the young athlete can show the promise he flashed in Lubbock, or perhaps even surpass it. Adedire posted two sacks, eight tackles for loss and 21 solo tackles in two years with the Red Raiders while also excelling on special teams.
