Davion Gause News, Rumors, Updates - NC State Wolfpack

Returns to end zone vs. 'Cuse Gause recorded 12 rushes for 24 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-31 defeat against Syracuse.

Impact Gause split the carries with Duke Scott, but he was completely outperformed. He managed just 2.0 yards per carry, while Scott ripped off runs of 62 yards and 32 yards, with the latter going for a TD. Scott ended up with 9.1 yards per carry and 127 yards, so Gause's role is likely to shrink heading into the final two games.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Hits century mark in home victory vs. Cal Gause totaled 19 carries for 104 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 1 of 3 targets for three yards during Saturday's 31-10 win over California.

Impact Gause was subbing in for the injured Duke Scott (foot), and he had his most productive outing with 104 rushing yards. He had his first touchdowns since Sept. 11 against Richmond, and his 5.5 yards per rushing attempt were also his most since that rout of the Spiders. If Scott remains sidelined for Saturday's game against Duke, the Wolfpack will lean upon Gause again.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 20 touches in road loss Gause tallied 15 carries for 49 yards and hauled in 5 of 7 targets for 51 yards during Friday's 31-28 defeat against Stanford.

Impact Gause was mostly bottled up in the run game, averaging just 3.3 yards per attempt, but he showed good, soft hands out of the backfield. He continues to be leaned upon as the RB1 with Duke Scott (leg, foot) sidelined since the Louisville game three weeks ago. Gause could start against Cal next Saturday if Scott is deemed not yet ready.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Goes nowhere fast in start Gause compiled seven rushes for 11 yards and gathered in 5 of 7 targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 38-14 loss versus Wake Forest.

Impact Gause made the start with Duke Scott unavailable due to injury, but he averaged just 1.6 yards per carry. As Wake built a significant lead early in the second half, State got away from the run, so Gause never really was afforded a chance to get untracked. He did have five receptions, showing some soft hands out of the backfield, however. If Scott remains on the shelf, Gause should get the start again at Stanford next time out on Oct. 23.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Takes reins in backfield Gause notched 21 carries for 69 yards and caught 3 of 4 targets for 45 yards during Saturday's 31-28 victory over Louisville.

Impact Gause stepped in as the workhorse for coach Dave Doeren after Duke Scott (foot) left the game early after just five carries. Scott was in a walking boot after the game, so Gause could very well be leaned upon for a heavy workload as Wake Forest comes to Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday for an ACC showdown.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 56 scrimmage yards Gause recorded 13 rushes for 49 yards during Saturday's 41-31 win over Appalachian State.

Impact Gause also added a 7-yard reception, providing occasional breathers for starter Jayden Scott. He averaged 3.8 yards per attempt, to 5.9 yards per tote for Scott, so he isn't going to push for a starting job anytime soon. He'll look to keep up the good work against Louisville in Raleigh next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 12 touches in road loss Gause recorded seven carries for 33 yards during Saturday's 35-31 loss against Vanderbilt.

Impact Gause averaged 4.7 yards per rushing attempt, outshining Jayden Scott, who went for 50 yards on 16 carries, or 3.1 yards per attempt. Gause also showed soft hands out of the backfield, and he could have bought himself more offensive snaps heading into Saturday's game against Appalachian State. After a disappointing loss, there might be a lot of changes coming in Raleigh this week.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Visits end zone in rout of Spiders Gause compiled five rushes for 37 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 73-0 win versus Richmond.

Impact Gause and a handful of backup running backs saw some extra reps against Richmond, an FCS team, in a lopsided game at Carter-Finley Stadium. As the schedule gets tougher, and the games get closer, look for Gause's playing time to dry up. He might be nailed to the bench for next Saturday's game at Vanderbilt in what should be a much tighter game.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Staying in-state Gause will transfer to North Carolina State, per Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.

Impact Gause spent the first two years of his career as a rotational back at North Carolina. He totaled 525 rushing yards and 177 receiving yards with nine total touchdowns. He'll take two years of eligibility with him to the Wolfpack, where he should immediately factor in as a part of the ground game.

Bids Chapel Hill farewell Gause will enter the transfer portal, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.com.

Impact Gause couldn't hold down a consistent role in the Tar Heels' backfield this season, finishing the year with 61 carries for 259 yards and three touchdowns. After two seasons with North Carolina, he'll look for a new program with two years of eligibility remaining.

DECEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Involved in UNC offense again Gause totaled eight rushes for 63 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 32-25 loss against Duke.

Impact Gause didn't log a single carry the week prior, but he was the leading rusher as UNC fell to Duke in Week 13. This backfield has been extremely unpredictable all season, and that remained the case against the Blue Devils. With how much the workload of each Tar Heel halfback has fluctuated on a weekly basis, it's impossible to know who will lead the way in Week 14 against NC State.

Does damage as a receiver Gause recorded 11 carries for 28 yards and reeled in all three targets for 51 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-15 victory over Stanford.

Impact Gause was quiet on the ground, but he was dangerous as a receiver with 51 yards and a score though the air. The North Carolina backfield remains a puzzle week in and week out, but for the second straight week it was Gause leading the Tar Heels in carries. Gause now has four total touchdowns this season, two as a rusher and two as a receiver.

Scores in narrow loss Gause tallied three carries for 30 yards and hauled in their only target for nine yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-16 overtime loss versus Virginia.

Impact Gause only logged three carries, but he caught his only target for a touchdown to make his stat line viable. Benjamin Hall was the Tar Heels' leading rusher with 11 carries for 50 yards, but that was the extent of his production. This remains a backfield-by-committee situation, with none of the tailbacks emerging consistently .
