NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • Associated Press
Teddy Hoffmann - Scores long TD Hoffmann caught all three targets for 74 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-36 win over Georgia Tech.
Impact Hoffmann paced NC State's pass catchers in receiving yards Saturday, though most of his yardage came on a 55-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter. After going without a touchdown in his first seven appearances of the season, Hoffmann has scored in back-to-back weeks. Overall, he's caught 20 of 27 targets for 284 yards.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Rogers - Draws nine targets Rogers reeled in 7 of 9 targets for 72 yards during Saturday's 48-36 victory versus Georgia Tech.
Impact Rogers set season highs in receptions, targets and receiving yards Saturday, but he fell short of scoring his third receiving touchdown of the campaign. The redshirt sophomore was the lone Wolfpack player to catch more than four passes Saturday, and his 72 yards ranked second on the team.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Terrell Anderson - Reels in long reception Anderson gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 59 yards during Saturday's 48-36 victory versus Georgia Tech.
Impact Anderson caught just two passes on the day, but he made the most of his opportunities. One of his two receptions accounted for 51 of his 59 yards. On the year, Anderson has caught 28 of 37 targets for 527 yards and four touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Hardy - Catches TD sans Joly Hardy reeled in all two targets for 31 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-36 win against Georgia Tech.
Impact Hardy had drawn just two total targets leading up to Saturday's game,where he matched that total. The veteran tight end scored his second touchdown of the campaign while catching his second and third passes of the year. The Elon transfer benefited from the absence of star tight end Justin Joly (leg), who didn't appear in Saturday's contest. If Joly continues to miss time, Hardy and Dante Daniels would serve as the Wolfpack's top TEs.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jayden Scott - Monster game as starting RB Scott had 24 rushes for 196 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all two targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 48-36 victory against Georgia Tech.
Impact Scott served as NC State's top rusher Saturday while Hollywood Smothers (undisclosed) was sidelined. Scott handled a workhorse role and didn't disappoint. He averaged 8.2 yards per carry and topped 200 yards from scrimmage. He delivered the crushing blow to Georgia Tech, scoring on a 30-yard run to give the Wolfpack an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter. While Scott isn't a threat to take the starting role from Smothers, he may have earned himself a couple more opportunities down the stretch of the regular season.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Will Wilson - Rushes for TD Wilson completed 0 of 0 passes for zero yards during Saturday's 48-36 win over Georgia Tech. He also had four rushes for 14 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Wilson, a true freshman, has been used as a redzone rushing threat this season. Saturday's touchdown marked his fourth of the year, and he's logged at least two rushing attempts in seven games so far. Wilson's only passing attempts came in a blowout win over Campbell, and he completed three of his five attempts for 16 yards and an interception.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Bailey - Upsets Georgia Tech Bailey was 24-for-32 passing for 340 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-36 victory against Georgia Tech. He also had five rushes for 34 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Bailey had one of his best games of the season, completing 75 percent of his passes and delivering his second-best yardage total of the campaign. The sophomore accounted for three touchdowns, which was his fifth time doing so. While a pair of three-interception games has put a damper on an otherwise excellent season, Bailey has totaled 2,411 passing yards and a 19:7 TD:INT while adding 137 yards and four scores on the ground across nine games. He's two yards short of matching his 2024 passing yards total, which he achieved in 12 games.

NC State Stuns No. 8 Georgia Tech at home to Hand Yellow Jackets’ 1st Loss

The Yellow Jackets were out to their best start since 1966, only to run into a motivated Wolfpack squad that now has two upset wins.

NC State Stuns No. 8 Georgia Tech at home to Hand Yellow Jackets’ 1st Loss
Hollywood Smothers - Officially ruled out Smothers (undisclosed) isn't playing against Georgia Tech, per Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.
Impact The star tailback wasn't spotted in warmups, so this ultimately doesn't come as a surprise. Smothers will miss his first game of the season, which means Jayden Scott should handle the majority of the work in the Wolfpack backfield, with a dash of Deandre Desinor sprinkled in there as well.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Absent from warmups Smothers (undisclosed) wasn't spotted warming up ahead of NC State's tilt with Georgia Tech, per Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.
Impact Smothers appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of the Wolfpack's huge game against Georgia Tech. Redshirt freshman tailback Jayden Scott was reportedly taking first-team reps in his stead during warmups, and Scott would figure to see the lion's share of carries with a little Deandre Desinor sprinkled in as well.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Joly - Not dressed Saturday Joly (leg) isn't dressed during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Noah Fleischman of On3Sports reports.
Impact Joly won't participate in Saturday's contest after being labeled a game-time decision due to a leg injury. It'll be the tight end's first absence of 2025. Look for Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to see most of the tight end work against GT. Joly's next chance to play will come Nov. 15 against Miami.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Joly - Deemed a game-time call Joly (leg) is a game-time decision for NC State's tilt with Georgia Tech.
Impact Joly is in danger of missing his first game, and looks to be a true game-time call against the Yellow Jackets. The star tight end has 36 catches for 365 yards and five touchdowns this season, but if he's forced to sit out, expect Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to hold down the tight end spot.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Officially a GTD Smothers (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Smothers was listed as questionable on NC State's initial injury report, and the team's final availability report didn't offer much more clarity. The star running back will be a game-time decision for the contest. If Smothers can't go, look for Jayden Scott to lead the Wolfpack backfield, while Coleson Fields or Darius Johnson could mix in.

Jonathan Paylor - Out again Paylor (undisclosed) won't suit up Saturday against Georgia Tech.
Impact Paylor has not played this year and remains without any firm timetable to return. His next chance will be in Week 12 versus Miami on Nov. 15.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Joly - Officially questionable Joly (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Joly exited early last week after suffering an apparent leg injury on a touchdown catch. He was having a career game with six catches for 101 yards and two scores. Joly would be a massive loss for the passing game if he's unable to go and would open up opportunities for Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to get more work.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Gets questionable tag Smothers is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Smothers' status is up in the air with the running back dealing with an apparent injury. He handled fewer than 10 carries for just the second time this season last week but was still effective, turning eight carries into 86 yards and a score. Jayden Scott could be in for an extended opportunity if Smothers were to miss.
