NC State’s do-it-all H-back who flips games with versatility
Jaylen Samuels is a high-value offensive weapon for NC State because he can line up as a runner, receiver, and mismatch creator, not just a traditional TE/H-back. In 2017, he was one of the Wolfpack’s most dangerous playmakers, highlighted by a 3-touchdown outing against Furman on just 11 touches, which underscores his efficiency and big-play upside. His real differentiator is versatility: defenses have to account for him everywhere, making him a strong fit for teams that want schematic flexibility and explosive production.
