Former Duke running back transferred to NC State for his final year of eligibility. Waters spoke about the decision to stay close to home, what he took away from his time at Duke and what he can bring to this offense.

And foremost, what has this transition been like for you? It's been different uh very different, but I'm getting used to it. I'm, I'm a North Carolina boy. So it ain't too bad. The decision, obviously one more year, graduate year, but maybe I really uh staying close to my family another year, allow my mom, my parents to come and see me play for another year and I had an opportunity to make a little bit of nil to help my family. So, you know how unusual this is. Uh there was some good and some bad, but I can't let that get to me, but I, I understand why people feel that that way. But uh at the end of the day, it's a business and I had to make a good decision for myself. I helped a lot, like I said, I, I'm able to help take care of my family a little bit, not, not as much as I want to, but just a little bit when it comes to, you know, obviously playing Purdue. But you guys have seen enough of HTE State. What did you see that from this program and made these concessions uh it starts with me personally, like I know where I want to get to and I know what the NFL expects now. They want to all down back one that can catch block and all that. And I feel like coach and I can get me there with the offense we have from the program and all the ups and downs that you went through a state who has been right there. My biggest takeaway from Duke is definitely relationships. I met some of my best friends there and brothers. I, I keep for life and uh we went from the bottom to the top and I see how much of an impact when we come together and we work hard and then we bring in the right people where it can get you. So now I'm expecting to do the same thing here, the way this program is building right now, just the people bring like it's great. That means we uh NC state is doing something right? And it's going to continue to grow. And hopefully this year, uh we get a national recognition that grow some more. Uh Definitely a lot of experience. I'm old. This is my six year. So a lot of experience and um I feel like I can make some plays for them. How do you, how do you, how do you think you, I think we can do the same but a little bit more, uh like I said, I want to get to the next level. And that, and that means catching the ball to batel and bend it all down bat. What do you think you've won most in college football? You know? And this is your only move. That's easy being patient. I sat for three years before I got my opportunity and I learned a lot. I sat behind Dion Jackson, Mateo Durant. And those guys taught me a lot and then when it was my turn, I was ready. Can you pass that down to? Now? I hear. Right. Yeah, definitely. Especially they send a transfer in from Duke and they're fresh and they don't know what to expect. But honestly, I'm here to help them and to teach them some things. I know. I'm not surprised but they work very hard in the weight room. They run hard and that's something I'm looking forward to. Oh, he's different. He's a dog and I love his energy and the energy wears off on us. So I

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center. We have some pretty nice weather as we wrap up the weekend. It's going to be gray today but only a 20% chance for rain. So a drier finish to the weekend compared to what we went through yesterday with numerous showers and storms. The cold front that brought us the rain is now moving offshore. Just a slim chance for showers today. It's about a 20% chance and then we don't expect any rain Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. But notice how rain chances go up by the end of the week. A 20% chance Thursday, a 30% chance Friday and then a 40% chance for scattered showers and storms on Saturday. So Memorial Day weekend, we could be dodging some showers and storms, keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea of the timeline for rain and storms over the holiday weekend. Probably around the middle of the week or so today. We'll have mainly cloudy skies. A high of 74 in Raleigh and Durham and Fayetteville, 74 in Clinton, 73 for the high temperature in Rocky Mount. So pretty comfortable temperatures today, dinner outside around seven o'clock, probably a good thing. It's only gonna be a 20% chance for rain at that point with temperatures in the low seventies. So it will certainly feel very comfortable overnight. Tonight, we are going to have the potential for some areas of fog to develop. Temperatures will get down into the middle to upper fifties. So a little bit of a foggy start on Monday morning. But then sunshine in the afternoon, temperatures will warm Monday afternoon up to around 79 for the high and then low eighties. Tuesday will get up to 87 Wednesday and 90 for the high by Thursday. So definitely getting hotter as we get into the second half of the week, which is pretty normal this time of year, especially leading up to the Memorial Day weekend, morning, lows will be mild as well pretty near normal for the next few mornings. But then mid to upper sixties for lows by Thursday and Friday, I mentioned the chance for some rain over the holiday weekend might have an isolated shower Thursday, but then scattered showers will be possible on Friday. Maybe an isolated storm Saturday into Sunday. We have the potential for a couple of showers and storms as well. It's not going to rain all weekend, but we certainly have that chance for rain again. Keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea of the timeline as we get a little bit closer to it. Things are going to stay quiet for the next several days. But the big story this week will be the heat getting up to around 90 by Thursday and then storms return as we head into Friday.
