"It wasn’t long after Kentavius Street arrived in Raleigh last year that coach Dave Doeren and defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen sat down their prized recruit.
Those precious stars he accumulated as one of the country’s top defensive ends? All five of them?
Gone.
Street didn’t need to worry about the high expectations, he just had to focus on grasping the defensive scheme.
“(He’s) very humble,” said Doeren of the Street’s commitment to those instructions. “Works for everything, doesn’t ask for much. I love his personality and his attitude.”
But that doesn’t mean Street’s teammates will let him off the hook. During a recent interview, he tried not to laugh as they muttered “five star” under stifled fake coughs.
Street can’t hide his smile, though. Nor should he -- after a true freshman campaign at defensive end, Street shifted inside and now holds a starting defensive tackle spot.
The Wolfpack lost last year’s starters T.Y. McGill and Thomas Teal to graduation, which left a void that the 6-foot-2, 290-pound sophomore has moved over to fill."
