    NC State really is moving on without quarterback Russell Wilson.

    The school granted the all-ACC performer his release Friday as he pursues a professional baseball career. Wilson had not ruled out using his final year of football eligibility, but coach Tom O'Brien had said during spring drills that the Wolfpack planned to move forward with redshirt junior Mike Glennon at quarterback.

    "Russell and I have had very open conversations about his responsibilities respective to baseball and football," O'Brien said in a statement. "While I am certainly respectful of Russell's dedication to baseball these last several years, within those discussions I also communicated to him the importance of his time commitment to NC State football.

    "My staff and I thank him for his contributions as a member of Wolfpack football and to this university and wish him only the best in the future," he said.
