RALEIGH, N.C. -
North Carolina State has finally settled on a starting quarterback: Redshirt freshman Russell Wilson.
Coach Tom O'Brien said Friday that Wilson will start in next week's opener at South Carolina and senior Daniel Evans will be his backup.
O'Brien said he picked Wilson because he "gives us the best opportunity to win the football game."
The decision ends a lengthy process in which five players began preseason camp in the mix for the job.
Wilson becomes the third N.C. State freshman quarterback to start his first college game.
He's the Wolfpack's third starting quarterback in O'Brien's two seasons. Evans made eight starts during N.C. State's 5-7 season in 2007, and third-stringer Harrison Beck started four games.
