Marvin Austin UNC's next big thing

Posted Aug 30, 2008
Marvin Austin doesn't do anything small. He stands 6 feet 3. Owns a necklace as thick as a rope. Can bench press 480 pounds. Boasts at least a half-dozen pairs of oversized aviator shades. And, according to several teammates, has the lung capacity to out-talk just about anyone. But the largest part of the North Carolina defensive tackle's personality -- and game -- is his determination. (Raleigh News & Observer)
