NC State spent much of its summer inside the Wolfpack’s 15,000-square foot football weight room, located just inside the Murphy Center’s first-floor lobby, working to improve for the 2025 campaign.  The team wasn’t happy about last fall’s ending, which featured a Military Bowl loss to East Carolina, which capped a 6-7 year — just the third losing season under Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren. The team was determined to right that wrong, and in doing so, it shined during the end-of-summer strength and agility testing. Here’s a look at NC State elite athletes going into the 2025 season in The Wolfpacker’s Freaks List, using intel from this summer’s weight room standouts. The list was inspired by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, who has ranked the top athletes across college football for the last 20 years.
