Reggie Gallaspy Jr.
There is no question that the Wolfpack’s passing game should be one of the best in the ACC. The team is led by Ryan Finley, who is one of the top QB prospects in college football. He has a deep wide receiver group with Kelvin Harmon, Jakobi Meyers and Stephen Louis.
This group should be able to put up impressive numbers this season but they will need a run game to keep opposing defenses honest.
Enter Reggie Gallaspy Jr. for this NC State football team.
The junior has waited for his chance behind 1,000 yard rushers Matt Dayes and Nyles Hines the past two year and it will be his turn to continue the streak. While splitting carries with Hines, Gallaspy had a decent season last year with 506 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
However, this year he is the main guy and he will be expected to carry the run game. The Dukes should expect to see a healthy dose of Gallaspy Jr. Saturday afternoon.
