Justin Grice was born Lowesville, NC, about 20 miles Northwest of Charlotte, as the youngest of three boys. He moved Raleigh in 2003 to attend school at NC State where he fell in love with NC State Athletics as a member of the Student Wolfpack Club.
He graduated with a degree in Finance and Economics in 2008.
Grice has been working in the mortgage industry ever since 2010 and enjoys helping people navigate through the process of buying a home. He has also been writing and covering various sports at NC State for the past year including wrestling, volleyball, women’s soccer, and women’s tennis.
P.J. Williams was born in Raleigh and raised in Apex. He played quarterback at Middle Creek High School for NC State legend Anthony Barbour, who would routinely assume duties as scout team running back and embarrass everyone on the field.
A career English and journalism teacher, PJ was a North Carolina Teaching Fellow at Elon University. After receiving his undergraduate degree, he returned to Middle Creek and spent several years coaching quarterbacks, defensive backs, and JV defense before moving to Tuscaloosa to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the University of Alabama.
A lifelong NC State fan, his fondest Wolfpack memory is standing in ankle-deep water in the front row of Carter-Finley to witness Philip Rivers’ first career game in the red and white. He has followed NC State recruiting for over 15 years and looks forward to his new role as part of the Inside Pack Sports team.
