Early 2026 NC State Season Preview | Cover 3 Summer School
Description
Bud Elliott sits down with Cory Smith of Pack Pride to preview NC State's 2026 season.
The Wolfpack have questions on offense, but not at quarterback. Bud and Cory discuss the return of CJ Bailey, one of the top quarterback prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft, and what he needs around him to help NC State take the next step.
They also break down a defense that looks poised for another strong season, an ACC schedule that sets up favorably, and whether the Wolfpack have what it takes to put together a special 2026 campaign.
