NC State defensive back Jackson Vick spoke to the media about the upcoming season and fall camp. Below is a partial transcript of what Vick had to say:

Q: What's it like to get back out there today?

Vick: "It feels good. I mean, knocking the rust off, getting back out there with the guys, getting to compete again, it's just back in football season."

Q: You got a taste of it last year, getting on the field a little bit more. How much do you want more of that this season, trying to push for that starting spot?

Vick: "Really, more than anything. Everybody wants to be a starter, but it depends on what your process is every day. I just try to stay process-oriented and just attack every day."

Q: What has that competition kind of been like over the summer and now going into camp, where you guys are all fighting for the same snap?

Vick: "The competition was great all summer. We brought in new DBs, brought in Brian. We already had guys coming up, so a couple guys. Everybody's stepping up, competing, pushing the guy in front of them, and that's what we want."

Q: How good could this back four or back five be? Can you guys lock down some of the better teams in the country?

Vick: "I feel like this is probably one of the better back ends I've seen since I've been here altogether, and just in the leadership piece, too."

Q: Going against those wide receivers, who has the pressure on that side of the ball that you think could be a problem this season?

Vick: "They all have something a little different to them ... Really, all of them, they bring something different to the team. I feel like they'll be able to be open against them."
