NC State Football All-Time Records: Rushing Records

While NC State might not have the reputation of continually spawning out NFL Running Backs, we can proudly look at the ACC Record Books and see our own Ted Brown perched at the top of the list as the All-Time Leading Rusher in ACC History (Ted set the record back in 1978 and not a soul has come within 200 yards of it ever since). The Pack has boasted the ACC's leading rusher 5 times (Willie Burden '73, Stan Frits '74, Ted Brown '78, Joe McIntosh '81 and Tremayne Stephens '97).

A couple of the Pack's Backs ran their way onto a slot on the All-American Team. Dick Christy was the first to do so in 1957 (He was also the ACC Player of the Year this year as well). Seventeen years later in 1974, fullback Stan Frits joined the party as his 1,169 season earned him the honor of 2nd Team All-American (12 TD's). In 1978 Ted Brown was unanimously selected to every 1st Team All-American list that existed.

Two Backs have earned the ACC Player of the Year award. It was mentioned earlier that Dick Christy earned the accolade in 1957 and Willie Burden also brought it home in 1973.

Dick Christy and Ted Brown also have their #'s retired over at Carter-Finley Stadium.
