KC Concepcion

With Thayer Thomas graduating following the 2022 campaign, the coveted slot role in the Wolfpack offense was up for grabs, and it was a true freshman in Concepcion who ran with it, both figuratively and literally. He not only finished the 2023 campaign with 71 catches for 839 yards and 10 touchdowns, but he also added 41 carries for 320 yards on the ground. He also tossed a 17-yard touchdown pass for good measure. Even if NC State finds more reliability in the backfield this season with the addition of Jordan Waters from Duke, Concepcion won't be shut out from the ground game, which should continue to supplement his fantasy value as a wideout. Coastal Carolina transfer quarterback Grayson McCall, who spent five seasons with the Chanticleers, enters the fray under center in 2024, taking over the job from the graduated Brennan Armstrong and MJ Morris, who transferred to Maryland in the offseason. Even so, the change under center figures to be an upgrade for the Wolfpack, and, subsequently, Concepion's outlook.
