The ACC Kickoff media days in Charlotte, North Carolina, are one week away, and the conference released the representation for each member school at the event Wednesday afternoon. NC State plans to send Head Coach Dave Doeren along with three of the program’s senior stars.

Quarterback Devin Leary, linebacker Isaiah Moore and linebacker Drake Thomas will all make the trip to Charlotte, along with Doeren, for the event set to take place July 20-21, per a statement from the ACC. The ACC Network will broadcast the event both days.

“The two days of expansive coverage will begin at 9 a.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday and the 24/7 national network dedicated to ACC sports will provide the event’s most robust television coverage to date,” the conference’s statement reads.

NC State and the rest of the Atlantic Division are scheduled to be available for interviews Thursday, while the Coastal Division’s media day will be Friday. ACC commissioner Jim Phillips will also address those in attendance at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Leary is one member of an elite quarterback contingent making the trip. Nine total quarterbacks will be in attendance, and, according to the conference’s statement, it is an extremely impressive group.

“Four of the quarterbacks at this year’s event ranked among the ACC’s top five in passing yards per game last season – Virginia’s Brennan Armstrong (first, 404.5 yards per game), Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman (third, 302 ypg), Miami’s Tyler Van Dyke (fourth, 293.1 ypg) and NC State’s Devin Leary (fifth, 286.1 ypg),” the statement read.

The statement also referred to the ACC as “the Conference of Quarterbacks.”

Thomas and Moore are will also be in-attendance and are significant pieces of a noteworthy group of experienced defenders in Charlotte.

“Four of the top 10 and six of the top 18 tacklers from last year will be in Charlotte, including Virginia’s Nick Jackson, who led the league with 117 stops (9.8 per game),” the statement read. “Syracuse linebacker Mikel Jones (2nd, 9.3 per game), NC State’s Drake Thomas (4th, 8.3) Duke’s Shaka Heyward (6th, 8.2 per game), Florida State’s Jammie Robinson (10th, 7.1), Virginia Tech’s Dax Hollifield (11th, 7.0 per game) and Pitt’s SirVocea Dennis (18th, 6.7 per game) also will attend ACC Kickoff. Linebacker Yasir Abdullah, the league’s returning leader in sacks (10) and tackles for loss (17.5), will represent Louisville.”

The Wolfpacker will have full coverage of NC State at the ACC Kickoff next week.
