Well, according to Heather Dinich he is. Of course, here in Wolfpack Nation we feel that he is the best player in the entire country, but what do we know? He has only played one year under center for the Pack, and he already holds the record for most passes thrown without an INT. As a matter of fact, he only threw one to the enemies last season overall. Hopefully his time playing baseball this Summer does not effect his ability to find the open man or thread the needle. Of course, if it does, Mike Glennon is willing, ready and able to step in.
Wilson is only the 3rd member of the NC State football team to make Heather’s list of the top 50 players in the ACC, joining Willie Young at #9 and Nate Irving at #19. Expect the number of Pack players on this list to increase next Summer, as head coach Tom O’Brien is tearing up the recruiting trails and building his program the right way. The trenches are going to be a battle in the future, and the ex-Marine knows something about winning in the trenches.
Well, according to Matthew Hayes of The Sporting News they are. He has Florida at number one, followed by Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi and then the Wolfpack of NC State. He only has one sentence about the Pack, and claims that Mike Glennon may steal the starting job from Russell Wilson. That would not make Todd very happy, or our good friend Heather Dinich, who pointed us to this link to begin with.
If you are counting, that is two straight entries thanks to Heather.
Friend of the Idiot, Todd, has made no secrets about his man-crush on NC State staring QB Russell Wilson. Now he is going overboard, just a bit. Hit the jump to see Todd’s Ode to RW, and you will not be sorry that you did. Continue reading ‘Todd’s Ode to Russell Wilson’
Big tip of the hat to Heather Dinich for emailing me about this article at StarNewsOnline. Okay, Heather did not email me, but she did link to the article in yesterday’s ACC Lunchtime Links. Great read on Wilson, who wants to play both football and baseball professionally. At 5′11″ tall, playing QB in the NFL will be a tough task, but if anyone can do it it just might be Russell Wilson. The more I hear of this kid, the more I like him. You will not find a guy more grounded than Wilson, as displayed in this interview by our good buddy Joe Ovies over at 850 the Buzz. When do we start the Heisman campaign?
Heather Dinich has a nice, quick read about Mike Glennon. Basically, Glennon has bulked up and worked on his release point and footwork. The game has “slowed down” for him, and he expects to compete for the job of staring quarterback at NC State next season. That is a hard goal to reach, when you consider that Russell Wilson is arguably the best quartback in the ACC. And no, Glennon will not leave if he does not start this year. With Wilson being a baseball player first, this next season may very well be his last on the gridiron.
