TRACKING THE PACK JULY/AUGUST 2024 ■ 19 16th Dave Doeren's spot in a list of the best coaches in the Power Four con- ferences compiled by CBSSports.com. Doeren was 25th last year, and writer Tom Fornelli viewed his jump in the 2024 rankings as an opportunity to give the 12th- year Wolfpack mentor some "overdue credit." "The consistency Doeren has established at NC State — where he spent most of his time in a division with Clemson and Florida State — is one of the most impressive things any coach in the country has done," Fornelli noted.

He completed 16 of 20 passes for 205 yards and a TD in the spring game — and that efficiency will be a difference maker. Davin Vann — who had 5.5 sacks last season — could emerge as one of the best interior defensive linemen in the country. NC State has a front-loaded schedule with a matchup against Tennessee in Charlotte on Sept. 7 and a trip to Clemson on Sept. 21. Will Doeren deliver his first 10-win season with the Wolfpack?" — Bill Bender of Sporting News, explaining NC State's placement at No. 24 in the outlet's preseason rankings When he's at his best, McCall is one of the best quarterbacks in the country. He recorded three consecutive seasons with at least 2,400 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and less than three interceptions from 2020-22. If he can rebound from a bru- tal 2023 injury, NC State will be in business." — Cameron Salerno of CBSSports.com, who listed GRAYSON MCCALL from Coastal Carolina as one of the transfers most likely to have an immediate impact in the ACC 8 Victories over top-10 opponents by the NC State baseball team from the start of May to the end of its season. The Pack split a two-game series against then-No. 7 Flor- ida State, took two of three from No. 10 Virginia, swept No. 8 Wake Forest, then triumphed over No. 7 Georgia in a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional for the right to advance to the Men's College World Series. Except for the three-game series against the Demon Deacons, all were road games.
