NC State QB MJ Morris won’t play again this season, opting to redshirt, his father says

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! RALEIGH, N.C. — The father of North Carolina State starting quarterback MJ Morris says his son will not play the rest of this season and take a redshirt year while staying with the Wolfpack. He’s guided N.C. State to three wins in four starts — including wins against Clemson and Miami — while throwing seven touchdown passes and five interceptions. Coach Dave Doeren said when making the change he hoped Morris would provide an offensive spark, and he did, leading the Wolfpack to a 48-41 victory against Marshall in his first start.
