Most to Prove

Winners: Joshua Fedd-Jackson/Justin Witt

There was no way to pick one player here as the offensive line lost a lot of talent since last year, mainly on the right side. The team’s starting right tackle, Will Richardson, and right guard, Tony Adams, are now in the NFL. This leaves a big hole on an offensive line that played very well last year.

The team will turn to sophomore Joshua Fedd-Jackson at right guard and junior Justin Witt at right tackle and the hope is that the dip in performance won’t be too much. As Joe Giglio of the News & Observer notes, both players have some experience with Fedd-Jackson replacing Adams in the Sun Bowl and Witt started for Richardson in the game against South Carolina.

dark. Next. NC State has two players named to ACC Preseason Team

The success of an offense starts up front and if Fedd-Jackson and Witt play at a high level, this Wolfpack offense will be tough to stop.
