RALEIGH — NC State football has its next Pack Pro, as the program's former tight end Justin Joly was selected No. 152 overall in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos on Day 3. Joly became the first member of the 2026 draft class from NC State, but is unlikely to be the last Wolfpack player to be selected during the festivities. In two seasons with the program, Joly made an enormous impact on the program's reputation at the tight end position. He helped position coach Gavin Locklear create one of the most successful tight end rooms in the country, while also turning NC State into a destination for future players at that position, as they saw his development in just two years.
