NC State’s Josiah Victor is a rising nose tackle built to clog gaps and absorb blocks
Victor is a physical, space-eating interior DL with the size and strength to anchor against the run, and NC State appears to view him as a potential nose tackle fit. In 2025, he logged 7 tackles through early-season stats and showed enough early promise that 247Sports named him one of the Wolfpack’s most important players. His differentiators are raw power, sturdy leverage, and a prep résumé that included 42 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 10 QB hurries in 11 games at Grayson; the upside is clear, but he’s still developing as a consistent every-down impact player.[3][4][6][8]
