N.C State Center Rising On Boards

N.C State Center Chuck Rutledge has already

been the center of attention whether it was

growing up as a single child, or being front and

center on the offensive line for the N.C State

offense. This year, he has embraced that and is

having the senior year that any offensive

lineman could hope for.

Rudledge, who is projected as a 5th round pick in

the draft, had a very impressive game last week, opening the door for 3 rushing touchdowns in a 35-3 victory.

Senior runningback Reggie Burrough, a beneficiary to the excellent blocking has seen his stock rise as well. Currently projected as a 4th round pick, many scouts have moved him into the 2-3 range with the other top-tier running backs in the country.

“I owe quite a bit to him for my success. And to the rest of my offensive line, if there not blocking, I am not running.” Said Burrough. “If things worked out perfectly, I would hope that not only do we both find out way into the NFL, but that we also end up on the same team. I can’t think of a better teammate to have”.
