big-bodied NC State DL with local roots and upside
Aiden Hollingsworth is a 6-foot-4, 292-pound redshirt junior defensive lineman for NC State, a Beaufort, North Carolina native who has grown into a sturdy interior piece after joining the Wolfpack as a preferred walk-on in 2022.[2][3][4] He stands out more for frame, effort, and developmental upside than box-score production, and NC State’s roster listings do not show any recorded stats for him yet, which suggests his value is tied to depth, practice intensity, and long-term potential rather than headline numbers.[2][3][4]
