Massive, Versatile NC State Interior Defender With Untapped Upside
Steven Stokes III is a 6-foot-4, 324-pound graduate defensive tackle for NC State who brings classic space-eating size and inside disruption potential to the Wolfpack[1][8]. He’s still listed with no public statistics on the NC State roster, so the value here is projection: a big-bodied DL who looks built to anchor against the run and occupy blockers, with enough frame to be a useful rotation piece if his motor and consistency travel[1]. The catch? The public record is thin on proven production and availability has been an issue, including a 2025 injury-report designation as out[15].
