Elite All-Big 12 Defender’s Surprise Commitment Could Transform NC State Football Overnight
He earned an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection his freshman year. With his versatility, and NC State’s need for change, this could be a nice match entering the 2025-26 season. Pressure is mounting in Raleigh, as the ACC landscape gets a bit more challenging to navigate with Bill Belichick now leading North Carolina. Doeren and company are trying to gain an edge and revive a defense that previously defined the program.
NC State hired longtime assistant D.J. Eliot to replace new Marshall HC Tony Gibson as defensive coordinator. He has served the post before at Kentucky, Colorado, Kansas and Temple and most recently worked as the Philadelphia Eagles linebackers coach in 2023. Eliot now has an intriguing transfer he could utilize at his new job.
