Brandon Mitchell - QB - Wolfpack

Former Arkansas senior QB/WR Brandon Mitchell will enroll at NC State for his final season of eligibility.

"I felt I built it with players in just three days," Mitchell told ESPN's Joe Schad. "Bottom line is I want to win, and I want to win now. They have the best opportunity there for success and just had one missing piece." Mitchell joins former Florida quarterback Jacoby Brissett as recent transfers for the Wolfpack.

Brandon Mitchell - QB - Wolfpack

Former Arkansas senior QB Brandon Mitchell spent the weekend visiting NC State.

"They have a great supporting cast there, especially defensively," Mitchell told Rivals. He went on to mention cornerback Dontae Johnson and offensive tackle Rob Crisp as intriguing talents. "Everything seems to be lining up for that perfect marriage, but I have to go home and pray about it and talk with my family and make the best decision that we think is right."

Brandon Mitchell - QB - Wolfpack

Former Arkansas senior QB Brandon Mitchell has added Michigan to his list of possible transfer destinations, according to ESPN's Joe Schad.

South Florida, NC State, UAB, Louisiana Tech and Northwestern State are the other five possibilities. Wolverines quarterback Devin Gardner was given an extra year of eligibility, leaving him with two seasons remaining. Mitchell is very athletic, but it seems like Michigan wants to focus more on pocket passing.

Brandon Mitchell - QB - Wolfpack

Arkansas senior QB/WR Brandon Mitchell has been granted his release and will transfer.

Mitchell is on track to graduate this spring and will be eligible to play this fall. The move makes sense after Brandon Allen exited spring ball with the starting quarterback gig. There have not been any rumors as possible destinations for Mitchell, but he is a Louisiana native.

Earl Wolff - DB - Wolfpack

Eagles selected North Carolina State S Earl Wolff with the No. 136 overall pick.

Wolff (5-foot-11 1/4, 209) started 43 games at boundary safety for the Wolfpack, notching 9.5 tackles for loss and six interceptions. Dubbed the "heart of the defense" by NC State coach Tom O'Brien, Wolff earned first-team All-ACC honors as a senior and is a skilled ball stripper (eight career forced fumbles). He also impressed at the Combine, running 4.44 with a 39-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump. Wolff will join the competition for the Eagles' two starting safety spots.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

Buccaneers selected North Carolina State QB Mike Glennon with the No. 73 overall pick.

Glennon (6-7, 225) took over NC State's offense following Russell Wilson's transfer and started two seasons, completing 60.3 percent of his throws with a 62:29 TD-to-INT ratio. Glennon is Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris' No. 4 QB in this class. Built like a young Joe Flacco with a powerful downfield arm, Glennon is an accurate deep passer. "Built like an oak tree," ESPN's Ron Jaworski has described. Glennon isn't a quality athlete, tends to hold onto the ball too long, and too often retreats rather than stepping up amid collapsing pockets. Sheer arm talent still makes him a quality developmental project -- and a great fit for Bucs OC Mike Sullivan's vertical scheme. Josh Freeman should consider himself on notice.

David Amerson - DB - Wolfpack

Redskins selected North Carolina State CB David Amerson with the No. 51 overall pick.

Amerson (6-1, 205) set an ACC record with 13 interceptions as a sophomore before his play slipped precipitously as a junior. He still intercepted five balls, but "probably gave up more vertical touchdowns passes than any corner I've ever seen in my life," NFL Network's Mike Mayock has stated. Amerson ran 4.44 at the Combine with a 35.5-inch vertical, but doesn't look nearly that fast or athletic on tape. He has slow feet, stiff hips, and zero experience as a press corner. He's an off-coverage corner with a gambling mentality. Amerson could even compete for the starting free safety job with the Redskins.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

The Chicago Bears are working out NC State QB Mike Glennon on Tuesday.

These last minute workouts are always intriguing. Jay Cutler is entering the final portions of his contract, and with no extension on the horizon the team could look to at least bring in competition. Glennon has a great arm and can make solid throws when in rhythm, but struggles in the face of interior pressure.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

SI's Peter King writes a few teams love NC State QB Mike Glennon.

King could see Glennon has a late second-round pick and calls him "an acquired taste." The Wolfpack quarterback could do well in a team that runs an offense featuring three and five step drops, quick reads, with a faster tempo, since the longer Glennon holds the ball the more fans will get worried.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

ESPN's Rich Cimini believes the Jets could select a QB in the second-round.

Cimini suggested Mike Glennon as a possibility since former Jets quarterback Ken O'Brien has tutored the NC State product. The beat writer also threw out the name Jordan Rodgers, little brother of Aaron, since he worked with O'Brien as well.

Earl Wolff - DB - Wolfpack

NFL Network's Mike Mayock says NC State S Earl Wolff is a draft riser.

Mayock said Wolff went from "late draftable" to "probably a third-rounder". He added that there's no way he gets through the fourth-round, and he likes his tackling and awareness. Wolff is one of our own Josh Norris' favorite prospects.

Earl Wolff - DB - Wolfpack

Draft insider Tony Pauline believes NC State S Earl Wolff could be a top 75 pick.

Wolff is visiting the Texans Monday and has already traveled to see the Jets and Falcons. The Wolfpack safety has been overlooked throughout the process, and put on a solid showing at the East-West Shrine game along with section favorite Josh Evans. We don't rule out a second day selection.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

Local Buffalo media member Sal Capaccio tweeted that he has been told the Bills remain "fairly high" on NC State QB Mike Glennon.

Capaccio went on to note that this "doesn't mean they are 'in love' or will target him... but they have liked him for a while and still have him higher than most would tend to think." The Bills have been linked to almost every single quarterback prospect, and the only obvious move seems to be that they will select at least one.

Mike Glennon - QB - Wolfpack

Buffalo Bills reporter John Murphy writes the team will host N.C. State QB Mike Glennon, Southern Miss LB Jamie Collins, LSU WR Russell Shepard and Clemson S Jonathan Meeks.

The Bills have been very busy during the draft process, visiting and working out seemingly every quarterback in the class. Glennon would be an interesting fit for the team because he can push the ball downfield. As for Collins, he's a raw pass-rusher but has a lot of upside and would be a good fit in defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's scheme. LSU's Shepard is a wide receiver but teams have wondered about him playing defensive back, according to reports. Clemson's Meeks is viewed as a strong safety in the NFL.
