Will Wilson is a dual-threat NC State QB whose production is more runner than passer
In the 2025 season, Will Wilson’s role at NC State was driven by his legs more than his arm: he finished with 146 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, while completing just 3 of 5 passes for 16 yards with one interception.[1][2][6] His differentiator is clear — he offers red-zone juice, designed-run value, and enough athleticism to change tempo — but the passing sample was extremely limited, so he still looks more like a package-based weapon than a proven full-time starter.[2][5][6] For a team, he fits best if you want quarterback run stress and short-area explosiveness rather than a polished pocket passer.[5][6]
