NC State has shrewdly used the junior college ranks over the years, one of which was just drafted by the NFL. Former NCSU left tackle Anthony Belton got drafted in the second round last April by the Green Bay Packers. Another recent example was former defensive tackle Larrell Murchison, who went in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft to the Tennessee Titans. Belton played at Georgia Military College and Murchison attended Louisburg (N.C.) College.
