The transfer portal was good to the Wolfpack this off season, as the team landed some guys who should come in and make immediate impacts. On the defensive side of the ball, Corey Durden and Cyrus Fagan both came in from Florida State. Derrek Pitts, Jr. transferred from Marshall. Pitts, a cornerback, and Fagan, a safety, are expected to be in the secondary rotation right away. Pitts (6-1, 182) might steal a starting role at cornerback.Durden (6-4, 310) will push C.J. Clark for the nose tackle position, replacing NFL rookie Alim McNeill, who was drafted by the Detroit Lions. On the other side of the ball, massive offensive guard Chandler Zavala (6-5, 325), a former Division II All-American at Fairmont State, could make his presence on the offensive line felt right away. N.C. State will be looking to replace Joe Sculthorpe at guard and Zavala looks like the perfect candidate. "We've brought in some transfers that are good players that were starters at their school," Doeren said. "They want to start for us, too." - Raleigh News Observer
