NC State's Best Moments of 2025-26 — Our Draft Picks — Tuffy Talk

Tuffy Talk — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Greg and Ethan draft their top three NC State sports moments of the 2025-2026 season, and debate whether this was a weak year for Wolfpack highlights overall.

Ethan takes the men's soccer run to the national championship game behind Donavan Phillip, women's cross country's fourth title in five years without star runner Katelyn Tuohy, and the men's basketball win over UNC. Greg counters with the cross country dynasty argument, Isaac Trumble's NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship and his decision to enter military service, and the Gasparilla Bowl win over Memphis that helped NC State football get back on track under Dave Doeren.

Honorable mentions include Elliott Avent's final win at Doak Field and NC State basketball's ACC road win streak — plus a closing debate on whether Will Wade leaving for LSU mid-season cost the Wolfpack a legitimate NCAA Tournament run.

IPS IN 5: A Breakout Season For... CJ Bailey?

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 15:10:56 GMT

NC State fans know all about CJ Bailey, but he has yet to have a year where he's emerged as one of the elite quarterbacks in the ACC. If history is any indication, it just might happen in 2026.

NC State Football: Is This Doeren's Year? — Tuffy Talk Live

Tuffy Talk — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Layton and Greg debate whether 2026 is finally Dave Doeren's year to break through in the ACC — then lock in their official NC State football breakout player predictions on record. Greg takes Duke Scott for 1,000 rushing yards, the first NC State back to hit that mark since Reggie Gillespie in 2018. Layton takes Jonathan Taylor, a former four-star prospect who's been waiting two years for his shot after a redshirt year and a season-ending knee injury.

The crew also ranks the Top 5 NC State fall storylines across every sport: volleyball's European tour and breakthrough potential, women's cross country's bid for a fifth national title without Katelyn Tuohy, women's soccer building behind JJ Barlow, men's soccer facing life without Donavan Phillip after his national championship run, and NC State football as the clear #1 — experienced roster, favorable schedule, year 14 for Doeren.

Tweet of the Week: Rhett Johnson makes the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team and heads to Taiwan, Coach Elliott Avent honored by Team USA, Taylor Black returns to NC State baseball under Chris Hart, college football's new 21-practice rule and FCS scrimmage changes explained, the transfer portal window shrinking from 15 to 10 days, and a North Carolina sports betting revenue bill that could send up to $5.8 million annually to NC State athletics.

ACC SQUAD - The NCAA's New 5-in-5 rule GREATLY IMPACTS the ACC | What it means for NC State

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 21:00:00 GMT

ACC football faces a seismic shift as the NCAA’s new 5-in-5 eligibility rule promises major advantages for teams like Miami, NC State, and Duke. Could seasoned veterans and enhanced player development help the ACC challenge SEC dominance? The ACC Squad dissects the impact, spotlighting how standout programs can leverage senior-heavy rosters—including Miami’s Mark Fletcher Jr., Duke’s Nate Sheppard, and Florida State’s Ashton Daniels—to gain a competitive edge. Preview magazine rankings stir debate as Miami lands at No. 7, while questions swirl about Louisville, Clemson, and SMU’s standing. The crew tackles the Protect College Sports Act and explores how pending legislation—aimed at locking current Power 4 members in place—might reshape conference futures and Super League ambitions. With ACC Media Days on the horizon, which star players will represent their squads, and who could emerge as this season’s breakout?
