A testament to NC State's focus on playing complimentary football, the Pack was represented on the first team by offensive, defensive and special teams players. - North Carolina State Football

11/30/21 - *Ikem Ekwonu, rSo/2022, North Carolina State, 6-4, 328 (DS#2 OT) + More +

2021 ACC JACOBS BLOCKING TROPHY AWARD WINNER: NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu has been voted the winner of the 2021 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced on Monday. The Jacobs Blocking Trophy has been awarded annually since 1953 to the player selected most outstanding blocker in the ACC by a poll of the league's head coaches and defensive coordinators. The trophy is given in memory of William P. Jacobs, who served as president of Presbyterian College from 1935 to 1945. Ekwonu, a sophomore from Charlotte, North Carolina, is a finalist for the Outland Trophy and has been ranked as the top run blocker in college football by Pro Football Focus. He has tallied a team-leading 67 pancake blocks and 18 knockdowns for the Wolfpack.

A two-time ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week this season, Ekwonu and the Wolfpack rank 19th nationally in passing offense at 288.4 yards per game - 11th among Power 5 schools. In 829 snaps this season, the 6-4, 320-pound Ekwonu has allowed just two sacks from his left tackle position and has consistently been the high-grader on the Wolfpack offensive line. He was named a midseason All-American by The Associated Press, The Athletic, ESPN and The Sporting News. "Ickey is the most dominant offensive lineman that I have seen in person as a head coach," said NC State's Dave Doeren. "But even more importantly, he is a phenomenal person, student, and teammate!" This marks the fourth time that an NC State player has claimed the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and the first since Outland Trophy winner and two-time All-America center Jim Ritcher was honored in both 1978 and 1979. - ACC Football

Grayson McCall raced untouched for a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime, Silas Kelly sacked South Alabama's Jake Bentley on the final play and Coastal Carolina beat the Jaguars 27-21 on Friday. Coastal Carolina (10-2, 6-2 Sun Belt Conference), which was ranked No. 22 in the preseason poll and climbed as high as No. 14 after winning its first six games, fell out of the Top 25 after a 42-40 loss to Georgia Southern two weeks ago. The Chanticleers are headed to a bowl for the second consecutive season and the second time in program history after moving to the FBS level full-time in 2017.

Bentley hit Jalen Tolbert at the 10 and he raced for a 57-yard touchdown and a 2-point conversion gave South Alabama (5-7, 2-6) a 21-14 lead with 4:24 left in regulation. The Chanticleers answered with a 10-play, 82-yard drive to force overtime when Bryce Carpenter took the snap and scored from 2-yards out with 39 seconds remaining. Carpenter, a 6-foot-1, 210 pound senior, is 41-of-69 (59.4%) passing for 483 yards and four touchdowns and has 54 carries for 217 yards and three scores this season. Kelly finished with eight tackles - including the clinching sack, which gave him 2 1/2 this season - and an interception at the 5. Coastal Carolina then went 95 yards, using 19 plays and chewing up nearly 9 1/2 minutes, to trim its deficit to 10-7 when McCall threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Jaivion Heiligh with 2:24 left in the third quarter. Shermari Jones scored on a 75-yard on the first play of the fourth quarter and South Alabama's Diego Guajardo made a 30-yard field goal to make it 14-13 with 11:14 left in regulation. - Coastal Carolina/AP College Football
