Veteran group: Previewing NC State’s LB room ahead of fall camp

Senior Popo Aguirre is stepping up to fill a big role after transferring to NC State, aiming to replicate the success of former linebacker Payton Wilson. With Caden Fordham, Wilson's protégé, moving on, Aguirre is tasked with stepping into the middle of the defense and becoming the ACC's leading tackler. This shift is crucial for the Wolfpack's defense as they prepare for fall camp, highlighting the importance of continuity and leadership within the team's linebacker corps. The transition will be closely watched as it could significantly impact NC State's defensive strategy this season.
