One North Carolina State player let his emotions get the better of him.

Wolfpack left tackle Anthony Belton was ejected late in the second quarter after spitting on a Clemson Tigers player. The incident happened after quarterback T.J. Parker was sacked with 54 seconds left in the half as Clemson was up 42-7.

Video shows Belton shoving one player and allegedly spitting on another during a skirmish following the play.

A flag was thrown on Belton for unsportsmanlike conduct. He was immediately kicked out of the game.

The ESPN broadcast said Belton might have been riled up because a Tigers player had stomped on Parker’s helmet, which was not seen by officials.

Pro Football Focus ranks Belton as its 95th-ranked prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. Belton played every game in 2023 and was tied for the team lead with 51 pancake blocks.
