NC State’s Gavin Locklear is 1 of 4 finalists for the 2025 Tight End Coach of the Year Award! This is Locklear’s first year serving as the Wolfpack’s Tight End Coach, making this honor all the more impressive.
With NC State firing Robert Anae today, they were in need of a new Offensive Coordinator and Tight Ends Coach. Quarterbacks Coach Kurt Roper has been promoted to Offensive Coordinator to fill Anae’s shoes, and he will still coach the Quarterbacks.
