Gavin Locklear has overcome the odds every step of the way.

Locklear has gone from being a NC State walk-on wide receiver in 2013 to earning a scholarship during his playing days. He then started off as a volunteer assistant coach in 2018, and is now the new tight ends coach for the Wolfpack.

Locklear was hoping to play golf when coach Dave Doeren called him to tell him the big news.
