Quadir Copeland is NC State’s all-around engine — and a real problem for opposing guards
In the 2025-26 season, Quadir Copeland became NC State’s do-everything lead guard, averaging 13.9 points, 6.5 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals while starting every game and earning All-ACC Third Team honors. He stands out for his size, pace and vision at 6-foot-6, plus a high-pressure defensive edge that turns possessions into chaos. The big tell: he didn’t just produce, he organized a top-tier offense and led the ACC in assists, which makes him the kind of fearless, high-IQ connector any team would love to plug in.
