2007 Wolfpack Roster

Transcription

2007 Outlook
2007 WOLFPACK
WOLFPACK OFFENSE
Halfback
Offensive Line
Once again, the halfback position is one
of the strongest and deepest on the field
for the Wolfpack in 2007. Two talented
runners with over 1,000 career yards
return for their junior campaigns: Toney
Baker and Andre Brown. Baker was the
Pack’s leading rusher last season with
688 yards and also caught 21 passes for
another 177 yards. Baker had one of the
top performances of any Wolfpack player
this spring.
Three starters from last year’s offensive
line have completed their eligibility, but
three other veterans with starting experience will be back in action. Manning
the guard spots will be returning starters
Kalani Heppe and Curtis Crouch. Heppe,
a senior, has played in 23 career contests
and played 837 snaps. Crouch enters
his junior campaign with 19 games played
and a dozen starts - 804 total snaps in all.
Senior center Luke Lathan has battled
various injuries throughout his career, but
has played in 16 total games and started
eight.
Brown was close behind his backfield
partner last season with 658 total yards,
leading the team in rushing seven times
last season.
Daniel Evans
Jamelle Eugene will also add his considerable talents to the mix in the backfield.
The fleet-footed redshirt sophomore
played in all 12 games last season and had
a solid performance in the spring, leading
all players in the Red/White spring game
with 168 yards on 15 carries.
Backing up Lathan will be sophomore
Andy Barbee, while Yomi Ojo and Gary
Gregory, who redshirted last season, will
back up the guard spots.
Two new starters will man the tackle slots.
Julian Williams did not see action last
year, while Jerrail McCuller played in just

one contest. Backing up those players will
be Meares Green, who has seen action at
guard and tackle, and Garrett Kline.
Senior Patrick Bedics will return at
fullback, where he played in every game
last season, working mainly as a blocker.
Backing up Bedics will be John Kane and
redshirt freshman Cedric Hickman. Kane
played in all 12 games last season, gaining
a reputation as a special teams stopper,
but missed spring drills after undergoing
shoulder surgery. Hickman redshirted the
2007 campaign at linebacker, but moved
back to fullback in spring workouts.
Heading into fall camp, the quarterback
position is up for grabs between a trio of
talented players. Redshirt junior Daniel
Evans could have the upper hand, after
starting nine games last season and
completing 163 passes. In 2007 spring
drills, Evans got some stiff competition
from two players who sat out last season.
Justin Burke who redshirted as a rookie
last season, completed 56% of his throws
in three spring scrimmages and threw
the White team’s only touchdown pass
in the Red/White spring game. Redshirt
sophomore Harrison Beck sat out after
transferring from Nebraska, and although
he was less accurate, threw for 351 yards
and four touchdowns in those three
scrimmages.
Patrick Bedics
Jamelle Eugene
Wide Receiver
The wide receiver position will benefit from the leadership of two talented
seniors: Darrell Blackman and John
Dunlap. Blackman was a first-team
All-ACC performer as a specialist in 2007
and pulled down 27 catches for 358 yards.
Dunlap tallied 30 receptions for 392 yards
and scored four touchdowns.
HISTORY
Tight End
Senior Anthony Hill was a second-team
All-ACC performer last season after leading the team with 45 receptions - 15 more
than any other Wolfpack player. Hill will
have another senior lining up with him at
tight end this season, as converted quarterback Marcus Stone looked strong at
his new position during spring workouts,
leading the team in receptions for one
scrimmage. Matt Kushner played in all
12 games last season, serving mostly as
a blocker.
Entering fall camp, those two seniors
will be flanked by several talented, yet
inexperienced players - a sophomore and
three freshmen.
That trio should make the tight end spot
one of the strongest on the offense for NC
State in 2007.
Matt Kushner

Donald Bowens was the only true freshman to start a game last season and finished his rookie year with 16 grabs. Jarvis
Williams played in one game, but ended
up earning a medical redshirt for 2006.
Darrell Davis redshirted the season, while
Owen Spencer joined the team in January
and went through spring drills.

John Dunlap
WOLFPACK DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS
Linebacker
Four Wolfpack defensive linemen have
been drafted by the NFL in the last two
years, and two seniors are hoping to
add to that number by having great 2007
campaigns. Tackle Demario Pressley
has started the last 23 games in which
he’s played, the longest streak on the
team. Pressley notched seven tackles
behind the line of scrimmage last season.
Senior Martrel Brown had a strong junior
campaign - his first as a starter and his
first at defensive end - leading the team
with seven sacks.
Although three seniors are listed as the
starting linebackers heading into fall
camp, only one has significant experience
at the position. LeRue Rumph has started
17 games at LB in the last two years and
is slated to fill the strong side in 2007. In
the middle, senior James Martin II hopes
for an injury-free campaign, after a broken
wrist kept him out of the last eight games
last year, his first at linebacker after playing at defensive end. Ernest Jones, has
played mainly on special teams during his
career, but played 342 snaps and started
one game at the weak side a year ago.
Young, relatively inexperienced players,
however, will cover the other D-Line spots.
Redshirt sophomore Ted Larsen will play
behind Pressley after seeing limited action
in 11 contests last season. Redshirt freshman Audi Augustin will back up Brown.
Redshirt sophomore Ray Michel gained
solid experience on special teams and
from scrimmage last year and will back up
Martin. Redshirt freshmen Nate Irving and
John Ware will fight for time at the strong
and weak sides respectively.
Senior Littleton Wright and sophomore
Willie Young will battle for the other end
spot. Wright played sparingly last season,
while Young was in for 469 snaps during
his rookie campaign, tallying 60 tackles
and leading the team with 15 quarterback
pressures.
Ted Larsen
Defensive Back
Safety Miguel Scott is the most experienced member of the 2007 Wolfpack
squad, boasting 1,135 snaps in 33 games
with 21 starts for his career. He will be
the leader of a secondary that boasts
solid experience. DaJuan Morgan, a
special teams demon each of the last two
seasons, is slated to get the nod at strong
safety, where he logged 482 snaps and
made 82 stops a year ago. That tackle
total is the highest for any player returning
for 2007.

2007 TEAM INFO
2007 WOLFPACK
Defensive Line
Darrell Blackman is NC State’s all-time
career leader with a 28.63 yard kickoff return average and ranks fifth in career punt
return yardage. The first-team all-conference performer has led the lead in KORs
each of the past two years and hopes to
do it again as a senior.

Noting the Pack
2007 WOLFPACK
Champions
Tom O’Brien’s goals for the Wolfpack football program have been well documented. In fact,
almost every time he has spoken publicly since being named the head coach at NC State,
he has reiterated them. “We want to be champions in the classroom, in the community and
on the football field.”
It’s a simple mantra, but one that should be much
more difficult to put into operation. However,
O’Brien has a proven track record of living up
to each portion of that goal. Here are a few
examples:
RECORDS
Under O’Brien’s guidance, Boston College won
the 2004 American Football Coaches’ Assocation’s graduation rate trophy. Seven other times
during his 10-year tenure, the Eagles won honorable mention in the graduation rate battle (1998,
1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006).
Here’s a look at the geographic numbers
for NC State in the past decade:

Following the 2005 season, USA Today began to
re-order its college football polls by re-ranking the
top 25 teams based on graduation rates. In the
very first revised poll, O’Brien’s squad came out
number one in the country. When the publication
re-ordered the poll again midway through the
2006 season, BC was once again on top.
In the Community
Although NC State’s athletic department has a
well-established outreach program (ImPACK),
O’Brien has pushed to ensure that the young
men on his team give back to the community on
a regular basis. In the first few months after his
arrival, he and his players served lunch at the
Raleigh Rescue Mission, hosted a sports clinic for
foster kids and took part in various other service
projects.
Tom O’Brien’s 2004 team posted the highest GPA
of any football team in the country. Here, he
receives the trophy to honor that accomplishment
from the American Football Coaches Association.
O’Brien is on the Board of Directors for the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots Foundation.
HISTORY
The 2007 NC State preseason roster lists players from 16 different states, plus an international signee (Germany). That marks the most
states represented on the Wolfpack roster in
the past 10 years.
This season, NC State boasts players
from North Carolina (52), Florida (23),
Virginia (10), Pennsylvania (8), Alabama,
California, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas
and one player from Germany.

Feels a Draft
The bad news is that NC State has had
to replace several talented players on
the defensive line in the past two years,
including three first or second-team AllACC performers.
The good news is that if anybody starts
missing those players too badly, they can
probably catch them playing on Sunday
afternoon.

A Bountiful Backfield
Tailbacks Toney Baker and Andre Brown joined an elite group of Wolfpack greats last season, when they each crossed the 1,000-yard mark
in terms of career rushing. Only eight other times in NC State history had a pair of players each boasting at least 1,000 career rushing yards
played on the same team.
Baker and Brown are the youngest 1,000-yard duo to ever play for the Pack, as both were sophomores when they reached that total.
Entering their junior campaigns, the Baker/Brown tandem boasts 2,559 combined yards (1,234 for Baker and 1,325 for Brown).
Here’s a look at all the Wolfpack 1,000-yard rushers who shared the backfield with a teammate who had also reached that milestone:

Brown tallied 1,000 yards in just his 16th career contest, the eighth-fastest in school history, while Baker hit the mark in his 21st game, the
12th-fastest ever for a Pack back.
Note: Years listed are only those when both players had
reached 1,000-yard rushing mark, not all the years
the duos played together.
The Hands of
Stone
The Wolfpack coaching staff
is hoping that the hands of
Stone ... well ... aren’t hands of
stone! And judging by senior
Marcus Stone’s performance in
2007 spring drills, they won’t be
disappointed.
Best of the Bowlers
Teams coached by Tom O’Brien earned seven consecutive bowl victories
at Boston College. That number ranks second in NCAA history for a head
coach at the same school - better than other legendary coaches such as
Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno and Boddy Dodd.

2007 WOLFPACK
RECORDS
Harrison Beck, Justin Burke and
Daniel Evans will battle for the
quarterback job in fall camp.
QB or Not QB
Tom O’Brien will release his first depth chart several days before the Central Florida game on September 1. Until that point, no starter at any
position could be etched in stone. That includes the most visible position on the field - quarterback.
The Wolfpack enters preseason camp with three quarterbacks and two ‘or’s’ on the depth chart at signal caller. It could be Daniel Evans ...
OR Harrison Beck ... OR Justin Burke. All three will have a chance to earn the position once practice begins in early August.
Evans, a redshirt junior, has the upper hand in terms of experience. The son of former Wolfpack All-American Johnny Evans, he started
nine games in 2006 and completed 163 passes. He is the only one of the three who has ever taken a snap at NC State.
HISTORY
Redshirt sophomore Harrison Beck does have some limited collegiate experience. He sat out after transferring from Nebraska, where he
saw action in two games late in the 2005 season. He threw for 351 yards and four touchdowns in three scrimmages.
Justin Burke is the true rookie in the mix, but gained valuable experience in practice as a redshirt last season. Burke completed 56% of his
throws in three spring scrimmages and threw the White team’s only touchdown pass in the Red/White spring game.
Big Cleats to Fill
It’s been a long time since anybody besides
John Deraney kicked an extra point or a field
goal for NC State. It’s been an even longer
time since anyone besides Deraney punted
for the Wolfpack. But that is about to change.
42
In the past three seasons, Deraney has accounted for 28% of the team’s total points (199
or 723) and took care of all of the punting. But
Deraney hopes to be kicking for the Detroit
Lions this fall, which leaves a big gap on the
Wolfpack depth chart.
Heading into fall camp, redshirt freshman
Josh Czajkowski is slated to take over the
placekicking duties, while incoming junior
college transfer Jeff Ruiz hopes to line up at
punter.
Czajkowski got tons of reps in spring drills,
kicking a 40-yard field goal and connecting
on seven extra points in the Red/White spring
game. Ruiz was a JUCO All-American with a
43.3 yard average last season at Southwestern Junior College.
Welcome Back!
Woody Jones, Class of ‘41, was the oldest attendee
at the reunion. His grandson, John Kane, is a current
member of the Wolfpack squad.
High Rate of Returns
HIS-
Senior Darrell Blackman enters his senior campaign with the chance to become one of the
top kickoff returners in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. For his career,
Blackman has returned 40 kicks for 1,145 yards - a 28.6 yard average. That is
the top career average in Wolfpack history and ranks second in ACC history.
RECORDS
Jerricho Cotchery, now with the New York Jets, greeted
young wideouts Donald Bowens and Owen Spencer.
2007 WOLFPACK
More than 300 former players came back for the Red/White Spring game. Those who attended practice on Friday
afternoon had a picture made with the 2007 squad.
One of Tom O’Brien’s top priorities
when he took over the helm of NC
State football was to reunite former
Wolfpack players and make sure they
knew they were an important part of
the program. He and his staff decided
to invite as many former players as
they could find back for a reunion the
weekend of the Red/White Spring
Football game in April.
Even O’Brien was overwhelmed by
the turnout. More than 300 former
players came back, with many attending practice on Friday afternoon,
even more enjoying a reception in the
Vaughn Towers press box and then
even more attending the game on
Saturday.
Attendees covered the past seven
decades of Wolfpack football, ranging
from Woody Jones, Class of 1941, to
Tank Tyler, who was drafted in April.
O’Brien has said that the reunion will
become an annual tradition and looks
for an even larger turnout next year.
Blackman, who was a first-team All-ACC performer as a specialist in
2006, has been named a preseason first-team All-American by Street &
Smith. He currently ranks 12th among active league players in career
receptions with 51, even though he has been at wide receiver just
one season.
